"The management of the holding Company has assessed the possible impact of continuing COVID-19 on the group based on the internal and external sources of information and expects no significant impact on the continuity of operations, useful life of Property Plant and Equipment, recoverability of assets, trade receivables etc., and the financial position of the Company on a long term basis. However, the revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 were impacted by low crude oil and natural gas prices due to the COVID-19 pandemic and volatile global crude oil and natural gas markets. Accordingly, the same are not comparable with those for the quarter ended June 30, 2021," ONGC said in a statement.
