Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Oil & Natural Gas Corp., India's biggest exploration company, said the current global financial crisis won't hurt its plans to buy the U.K.'s Imperial Energy Plc.

``We have enough liquidity to do two more such transactions,'' Chairman R.S. Sharma said in New Delhi today when asked about the Imperial purchase. The company is ``not dependant'' on a $1 billion bridge loan, he said.
