(a) & (b): At present, there is no such decision on merger of Oil and Gas Central Public  Sector  Enterprises  (CPSEs).  In  this  context,  Finance  Minister  in  the  Union Budget  Speech  of  2017-18  on  February  1,  2017  inter  alia  stated  that  'We  see opportunities to strengthen our CPSEs  through consolidation, mergers and acquisitions. By these methods, the CPSEs can be integrated across the value chain of  an  industry.    It  will  give  them  capacity  to  bear  higher  risks,  avail  economies  of scale, take higher investment decisions and create more value for the stakeholders. Possibilities of such restructuring are visible in the Oil and Gas sector.  We propose to  create  an  integrated  public  sector  'Oil  Major'  which  will  be  able  to  match  the performance of international and domestic private sector oil and gas companies.'
