What happened
The United States government gave ONGC, a big Indian oil company, a special permit. This permit lets the company go back to Venezuela and restart its oil business without breaking any rules.
Why it matters
For a long time, rules made it hard for foreign companies to pump oil in Venezuela. This new permit removes that big problem. It means ONGC can now try to produce more oil and help India get the energy it needs.
- ONGC can now restart full work in Venezuela.
- The U.S. permit removes past legal hurdles.
- India wants to secure more oil from different places around the world.
What happens next
Company leaders will check the oil fields in Venezuela to see how they can restart work safely and pump more oil in the coming months.
