The India-Africa Hydrocarbons Conference was conceptualised in 2007 with the objective to foster bilateral trade relations in the hydrocarbons sector, understand policy and regulatory frameworks and offer opportunities for strategic partnerships in upstream and downstream sectors of the two regions.
The 4th India-Africa Hydrocarbons Conference is being organised by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, to advance discussions on energy co-operation between African nations and India. This conference aims to build on successful accomplishment of the first three conferences held in 2007, 2009, and 2011 respectively.
