- Oil & Gas sector is a key contributor to India’s economy as over one third of the energy required in the country is met by hydrocarbons. Oil and gas play a major role in influencing decision making for all the other important sections of the economy.
- The Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has called for a 10% reduction in import dependence from the current level of 77% by the year 2022.
- Further, we have set an ambitious task of increasing our share of gas consumption in the energy basket from the current level of 6.5% to 15% by 2022.
- India has also made a strong commitment at COP21 to reduce its carbon emission per unit of GDP, by 33-35% from what it was in 2005, by 2030.
- In a major policy drive to give a boost to petroleum and hydrocarbon sector, the Government has recently unveiled a series of initiatives like the twin launch of Open Acreage Licensing Policy and National Data Repository. The two initiatives launched under the new Hydrocarbon Exploration and Licensing Policy, are major steps in India's journey towards achieving energy security and would reinstate the confidence of investors in India.
