CAIRN Energy has said it wants $600 million damages from the Indian Government as a tax dispute drags on amid the crude price plunge while highlighting the progress it has made off Scotland and West Africa. The Edinburgh-based firm has started formal proceedings to get compensation for the sharp fall in the value of its remaining holding in the Cairn India business since the country's government launched a $1.6bn tax claim against it two years ago.
