Govt extends tenure of Shah Committee looking into ONGC-RIL gas dispute

New Delhi: The government on Tuesday extended tenure of Shah Committee looking into ONGC-RIL gas dispute by three months to July 31.

The committee has been asked to submit by July 31 its report on "acts of omission and commission" as well as compensation to ONGC, an oil ministry official said.

The extension was necessary as RIL and its partner Niko Resources of Canada joined the inquiry committee only on February 19 and have submitted voluminous data which needs to be studied, he said.
