Profitable oil deal by India subsidiary boosts Cairn shares

Shares in Cairn Energy rose 5% after the oil and gas firm said its Indian subsidiary had agreed a deal to sell output from the giant Mangala field in the Rajasthan state at a higher price than the existing contract.

The Edinburgh-based group said Cairn India had agreed to supply crude from Mangala to the refinery owned by Indian giant Reliance Industries in Jamnagar, Gujarat state.
