Shell has been active in Mauritius since the acquisition of Pennzoil in 2002. Shell has holding companies in Mauritius, which have investments in India and the Cayman Islands. The Indian oil and gas business was acquired as a result of the BG Group acquisition in 2016 and is run through BG Exploration and Production India Limited (BGEPIL), an entity established in the Cayman Islands. BGEPIL’s production-sharing contract (PSC) with the Indian government ended in December 2019. Profits from the PSC are subject to tax in India. BGEPIL is currently carrying out decommissioning activities in India.

Production-sharing contracts or concessions
A production-sharing contract (PSC) is a contractual arrangement between the holders of a resource, typically a country’s government, and a resource extraction company concerning how much oil or gas each party would receive. The company bears the mineral and financial risk of the initiative. It explores, develops and, if successful, manages production. Costs are recovered through the sales of oil or gas and what is left over is split depending on the terms of the contract.
