NEW DELHI, Aug 3 Asia Pulse – The Indian energy sector may soon get a Scottish boost, with a number of companies from the European country planning to establish offices and manufacturing units in the country to tap growing opportunities.
“Many Scottish energy companies have evinced interest in setting up offices and even manufacturing units in India,” Brian Nixon, Director (Energy) of Scottish Enterprise, Scotland’s main economic development agency said.
He said while one firm planned to set up a manufacturing facility for oil and gas drilling tools, another company specialising in sub-sea engineering construction wanted to set up a base for providing offshore support services in exploration and production.
However, Nixon, who is in India along with Tom Lamb, Head (Energy) of Scottish Development International to explore opportunities in the energy sector between Indian and Scottish companies, declined to reveal the names of the companies.
While Edinburgh-based Cairn Energy’s massive discovery in Rajasthan makes it the most successful Scottish firm in India so far, the interest of energy service companies to set up manufacturing units in India is a recent development.
Other companies from the United Kingdom that already have India operations include BP, Royal/Dutch Shell and BG.
Scotland has Europe’s most attractive energy sector, ranging from the vast North Sea oil and gas fields to state-of-the-art research in renewable and fuel cell technologies, they said, adding Scottish companies see immense opportunity in the Indian energy sector. (PTI)

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
