Explanation

Bombay High, an offshore oil field located about 160 km northwest of Mumbai, is currently India's largest crude petroleum producer, accounting for nearly 60-70% of domestic production. Discovered in 1974, it has been the mainstay of India's oil production for decades. Assam was historically important but produces much less now. Gujarat's onshore fields and Coastal Tamil Nadu are smaller producers.
