KUALA LUMPUR, March 7 (Bernama) -- Bumi Armada Bhd has secured two contracts worth a total of RM578.4 million from India's state-owned oil company, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd (ONGC).

The Armada Sterling II FPSO is deployed at the ONGC Cluster-7 Field, located off the west coast of Mumbai, India. 

"The O&M is effective from March 8, 2025, for a fixed period of three years, with an annual option to extend the charter for up to three additional years," it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
