Global oil & gas giant Royal Dutch Shell, popularly known as Shell, is eyeing investment opportunities in the Indian downstream segment, especially with the recent deregulation of diesel prices and opening of the market. The company is planning to expand its retail outlet network utilising its existing licence to set up 2,000 fuel stations. The Netherlands-based energy and petrochemical group might also look at the upstream exploration and production segment and is pinning its hopes on the indications that the government would introduce an open acreage licensing policy (OALP). Signage players, having been engaged in branding activities, display jobs and related tasks in the sector, will find a fresh business opportunity with the retail outlet network expansion.
