Cairn Energy, which gave India its biggest onland oil discovery, had in 2011 sold the India unit, Cairn India to mining baron Anil Agarwal's Vedanta Group. The sale included the transfer of the Cairn brand name to Vedanta.
But both the UK firms and Vedanta kept using the name - while Cairn Energy did not change its name all this while, the mining group continued with Cairn India Ltd till 2018 when the firm was merged with Mumbai-listed Vedanta Ltd. Since then, the oil and gas exploration and production operations of Vedanta Ltd are organised as Cairn Oil & Gas.
