Congratulations Oil India Limited ! An ocean of energy opportunities reinforced in the Andaman Sea! Very happy to report the presence of natural gas in Sri Vijayapuram-3 an exploratory well drilled by Oil India Ltd. 15 km off the east coast of the Andaman Islands at a water depth of 355 meters. Initial production testing of the well at the depth of 1900 plus meters in the Eocene formation has established the presence of natural gas through continuous flaring. Oil India is carrying out gas sampling to assess the composition & calorific value of gas and to carry out isotope studies to understand the genesis of the gas. Under the Samudra Manthan Mission (National Deep Water Exploration Mission) announced by Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi Ji on Independence Day 2025, large number of deepwater & Ultra deepwater exploration wells are planned in our offshore basins to fully exploit our hydrocarbon reserves. Presence of hydrocarbon is now reported in 2(Two) wells out of 3 (Three) exploratory wells drilled by OIL in current exploratory campaign off Andaman Basin. This presence of natural gas will help us in taking forward our exploration ambitions in coordination with global deepwater exploration experts like Petrobras, TotalEnergies, bp India, Shell, ExxonMobil and will be a significant milestone in our journey through Amrit Kaal!

A Mystic and a Yogi pays obeisance to the Holy Jore Sahib “Charan Suhava” of Dasam Pita Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and Khalsa Mata Sahib Kaur Ji at Takhat Sri Harmandir Ji, Patna Sahib. I feel blessed that not only the Sikh Sangat but all people of faith and spiritual attainment like the Sadhguru are drawn to the divinity and power of the holy relics which our ancestors, who were in the seva of Dasam Pita, were bestowed with more than 300 years ago. On behalf of my family, I was blessed to hand over the holy relics to Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee which dedicated a permanent home for Jore Sahib at Takhat Sri Harmandir Ji, Patna Sahib. PM Sh Narendra Modi Ji, who has immense affection and respect for the Sikh faith and Sangat, paid his obeisance to the holy relics in November 2025 shortly after they were placed at the historic Gurdwara Sahib. Just like the teachings of our Guru Sahibs, the blessed relics have such divine magnetism that they bring humanity, faiths and cultures together.

Bharat’s journey toward achieving energy security has reached a milestone with the successful commissioning of HPCL’s Residue Upgradation Facility (RUF) at the Visakh Refinery. This critical infrastructure in Andhra Pradesh is a decisive leap toward #AatmanirbharBharat, under the visionary leadership of PM Narendra Modi Ji and CM N Chandrababu Naidu Ji. The facility is a masterpiece of indigenous engineering, housing three LC-Max reactors of ~2,200 MT each—ranking among the world’s heaviest engineering blocks—all fabricated and assembled within Bharat. With a capacity of 3.55 MMTPA, the RUF utilizes advanced residue hydrocracking technology to achieve a 93% conversion of bottom of the barrel oils into high-value products, maximizing the utility of every barrel to fuel the nation’s rapid ascent!

E85 ईंधन आ गया.......अब E20 अनुकूल गाड़ियों का क्या होगा? E20 और E85 दो अलग-अलग श्रेणियों के ईंधन हैं, जो अलग-अलग प्रकार के वाहनों के लिए बनाए गए हैं। E85 के आने का मतलब यह बिल्कुल नहीं है कि E20 या पेट्रोल वाहन बंद हो जाएंगे। E85 ईंधन सिर्फ और सिर्फ फ्लेक्स फ्यूल वाहन के लिए है, सामान्य E20 अनुकूल वाहन के लिए नहीं। ब्राज़ील में दशकों से E85 ईंधन का इस्तेमाल हो रहा है। फ्लेक्स फ्यूल वाले वाहन के इंजन E20 से लेकर E100 तक के विभिन्न इथेनॉल-पेट्रोल मिश्रणों पर चल सकते हैं। यह किसानों की आय बढ़ाने, कच्चे तेल के आयात पर निर्भरता कम करने के साथ-साथ देश की ऊर्जा सुरक्षा को भी मजबूत करेगा। यह भारत के स्वच्छ और आत्मनिर्भर भविष्य की ओर निरंतर बढ़ते कदम को दर्शाता है। #E85

भ्रम: भारत ने रूस से LNG आयात लेने से इनकार कर दिया है। सच: भारत ने कभी रूस से LNG आयात किया ही नहीं। भ्रम: देश में कोई बड़ा लॉकडाउन आने वाला है। सच: पूरी तरह झूठ और अफवाह। कोरोना कालखंड हो या फिर कुछ और .....विपक्ष ने हमेशा अफवाह फैलाने की कोशिश की, लोगों को भड़काने में कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ी। पश्चिम एशिया में तनाव के दौरान देश ने अपनी दैनिक एलपीजी उत्पादन में लगभग 55% की वृद्धि की है। PM Narendra Modi जी के मार्गदर्शन में यह उपलब्धि वास्तव में असाधारण है और भारत की क्षमता, आत्मनिर्भरता तथा संकट प्रबंधन की ताकत को दर्शाती है। #CIIAnnualBusinessSummit26 #CII4India

Lakshmi and I were truly fascinated by the living root bridge in Nowhet Village tucked deep in the hills of Meghalaya during our visit to the beautiful Himalayan state in 2019. These bridges are architectural wonders of nature spanning across mountain streams. These structures reflect local wisdom and innovative use of indigenously available natural resources while conserving the environment and ecosystem. #MannKiBaat Narendra Modi PMO India Mann Ki Baat Updates मन की बात अपडेट्स Narendra Modi_in Modi Archive Modi Story PIB India Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas #MoPNG MyGovIndia Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Ministry of Culture MoEF&CC

Deepinder Goyal, Zomato When I started Zomato in 2008, my father used to say “tu janta hai tera baap kaun hai” as my dad thought I could never do a start up given our humble background. This government and their initiatives enabled a small town boy like me to build something like Zomato, which employs lakhs of people today! zomato Deepinder Goyal #TechLeadersWithNamo #Visheshsampark

ब्राज़ील में भी वही कार निर्माता काम कर रहे हैं, जो भारत में करते हैं। ब्राज़ील E27 यानि 27% इथेनॉल मिश्रित ईंधन का उपयोग वर्षों से कर रहा है और कभी किसी कार इंजन के फेल होने जैसी समस्या नहीं आई। बायोफ्यूल से आपका भारत ऊर्जा के क्षेत्र में आत्मनिर्भर हो रहा है। विदेशी मुद्रा की बचत हो रही है। पर्यावरण हितैषी इस ईंधन से किसानों की अतिरिक्त आय हो रही है। देश ग्रीन हाइड्रोजन की ओर बढ़ रहा है। भारत में जल्द ही ट्रेन भी ग्रीन हाइड्रोजन से चलेंगी। PM Narendra Modi जी के मार्गदर्शन में हरित ऊर्जा के क्षेत्र में देशवासी बड़े बदलाव की नई तस्वीर देख रहे हैं। The Pioneer Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas #MoPNG #Biofuels360 #ThePioneer #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #CBG #EnergyTransition #Ethanol

Russia is one of the largest crude producers with over 9 million barrels/day. Imagine the chaos if this oil, amounting to about 10% of the global oil supply of around 97 million, vanished from the market. It would have forced the world to reduce its consumption, and since the consumers would be chasing the reduced supplies, the prices would’ve spiralled to over $120-130. Russian oil was never under global sanctions. Sensible decision makers around the world were aware of the realities of global oil supply chains and how India was only helping the global markets by buying discounted oil under a price cap from wherever we could. Some commentators who do not have an understanding of the dynamics of energy markets pass unnecessary judgements on our policies. India, under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi Ji, has been a net positive contributor to global energy price stability, while at the same time we successfully navigated the trilemma of energy availability, affordability and sustainability. India continues to provide clean cooking gas to our 330 million households at the lowest prices in the world, while we provide universal clean cooking to more than 103 million beneficiary families of PMUjjwala Scheme at just 0.4 dollars/kg or just 7-8 cents/day.

An ocean of energy opportunities opens up in the Andaman Sea! Very happy to report the occurrence of natural gas in Sri Vijayapuram 2 well at a distance of 9.20 NM (17 km) from the shoreline on the east coast of the Andaman Islands at a water depth of 295 meters and target depth of 2650 meters. Initial production testing of the well in the range of 2212 – 2250 meters has established the presence of natural gas with intermittent flaring. The gas samples were brought by ship to Kakinada, were tested and found to be 87% methane. The size of the gas pool and commercial viability of the discovery will get verified in the coming months but establishing the presence of hydrocarbons in the Andaman basin is a major step in confirming our long held belief that Andaman basin is rich in natural gas, in line with discoveries in the entire area from Myanmar in North to Indonesia in the south in this belt. Under the deepwater mission announced by Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi Ji on Independence Day, large number of deepwater exploration wells are planned in our offshore basins in order to find new discoveries and fully exploit our hydrocarbon reserves. This occurrence of natural gas will help us in taking forward our exploration ambitions in coordination with global deepwater exploration experts like Petrobras bp India Shell ExxonMobil and will be a significant milestone in our journey through Amrit Kaal!

हर बूंद में आत्मनिर्भरता! PM Narendra Modi जी के मार्गदर्शन में आज नया भारत एक नए ऊर्जा युग की ओर बढ़ रहा है। E85 जैसे इथेनॉल-आधारित ईंधन के साथ अब हमारी ऊर्जा का स्रोत हमारे अपने खेत बन रहे हैं। जो किसान कल तक हमारे लिए अन्न उगाता था, आज 'ईंधन' भी उगा रहा है। यह केवल ईंधन का बदलाव नहीं है, बल्कि सोच का बदलाव है। प्रति लीटर ₹20 सस्ता E85 ईंधन,सामान्य वाहन के लिए नहीं, सिर्फ फ्लेक्स फ्यूल वाहन के लिए है। यह बदलाव किसानों की आय बढ़ाने, गांवों की अर्थव्यवस्था को मजबूत करने और आत्मनिर्भर भारत के सपने को साकार करने के साथ स्वच्छ पर्यावरण की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम है। अन्नदाता से ऊर्जादाता बनने की यह यात्रा भारत के विकास की नई पहचान है। Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas #MoPNG

असम के डिगबोई में स्थित भारत के प्रथम वाणिज्यिक तेल कुएँ और विश्व की सबसे प्राचीन रिफाइनरियों में से एक के इतिहास को जानना अत्यंत प्रेरणादायी अनुभव रहा। आज जब भारत PM Narendra Modi जी के नेतृत्व में ऊर्जा सुरक्षा, आत्मनिर्भरता और हरित ऊर्जा की दिशा में नए कीर्तिमान स्थापित कर रहा है, तब डिगबोई का यह इतिहास हमें याद दिलाता है कि हर महान उपलब्धि की शुरुआत एक छोटे से संकेत, एक बड़े संकल्प और राष्ट्रहित के प्रति अटूट समर्पण से होती है। डिगबोई की यह विरासत केवल अतीत की कहानी भर नहीं, बल्कि उन सपनों, संघर्षों और सफलताओं की जीवंत गाथा है जिन्होंने भारत की ऊर्जा क्रांति की नींव रखी। विजिट की एक झलक!

देश में किसी भी पेट्रोलियम उत्पाद की कमी नहीं... भारत के पास 60 दिनों का कच्चा तेल, 60 दिनों की LNG और 45 दिनों का एलपीजी भंडार उपलब्ध है। पश्चिम एशिया में तनाव के बीच निर्बाध आपूर्ति सुनिश्चित करने के लिए भारत ने अपने दैनिक एलपीजी उत्पादन में अभूतपूर्व वृद्धि (35,000 टन से बढ़ाकर 54,000 टन) की है। इस दौरान कई सारे देशों में तेल के दाम व उपलब्धता को लेकर उतार-चढ़ाव आए लेकिन भारत में कोई असर नहीं पड़ा। कुछ लोगों ने कालाबाजारी की, अफवाह फैलाने की पूरी कोशिश की, पर PM Narendra Modi जी के मार्गदर्शन में हमारे प्रयासों से देश में पेट्रोल, डीजल और एलपीजी की कहीं कोई कमी नई आई। #CIIAnnualBusinessSummit26 #CII4India
