Reliance Industries (RIL) on Thursday announced it would invest Rs 40,000 crore ($6 billion) in three projects, over three to five years, for developing discoveries in the KG-D6 block along with its 30% partner BP Plc.

The two companies will jointly explore options to develop differentiated fuels, mobility and advanced low-carbon energy businesses in India.
