Following the process, ONGC has decided to take 68 buses from ASTC. With this step of the ONGC authorities, ASTC will be benefitted.

Besides, hundreds of mini and small vehicles have also been taken by the ONGC from various unemployed educated youth of Sivasagar and Charaideo districts and this will definitely benefit the youth.

ONGC requires about 400 vehicles every year for oil exploration and other services and the company generally takes such vehicles from local people so that the local economy can improve.
