A SCOTTISH energy firm is expanding in India, creating up to 100 jobs, to boost its presence.

Wood Group, which employs 130 people in the country, has opened an engineering hub to build on its existing efforts in India, where the company has operated since 2000.

External Affairs Secretary Fiona Hyslop, on an official visit to India, said: "Wood Group is a significant player in the energy sector. Their expansion highlights the appetite of Scottish companies to develop into Indian markets."
