Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on August 20 will lay foundation stone of the state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corporation''s (ONGC) new corporate office at the plush Vasant Kunj locality in south Delhi. Singh will lay the foundation stone of building named Rajiv Gandhi Urja Bhawan, being set up at an investment of over Rs 500 crore, on the birth anniversary of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi. Congress president Sonia Gandhi would also be present on the occasion.
Petroleum Minister Murli Deora said the new building, being constructed on a 36,340 square meter plot, will house ONGC Energy Centre and corporate offices of group companies-ONGC, ONGC Videsh Ltd and Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd. Designed by noted architect Hafeez Contractor, the building would be ready by April 2009, he said. Deora, however, said that ONGC''s headquarters will continue to remain at Dehradun and there no intention on part of government to move it to the new office.
