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!

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

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

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.

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

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!

I always look forward to my meetings with Mr Bill Gates for the inspiration and optimism he brings with his conversations. Today, when Lakshmi & I had the privilege to host him again, the keen conversation on the breakfast table with eminent members of Mr Gates’ team and some highly accomplished achievers who are driving India’s economic growth was about how the many initiatives have brought about a huge change in the lives of the people. We discussed how the Digital India initiative spurred by PM Narendra Modi Ji has spawned a wide variety of ideas that empower the citizens, along with bringing convenience and dignity into the lives of people including the women. Things can now be done without stepping out. From green energy to space, everyday services, banking, insurance, space and Artificial Intelligence, we discussed how the scope, scale and depth of these ideas which startups use have a potential to benefit the world. We were delighted to have my friend and India’s G20 Sherpa & former CEO of NITI Aayog Mr Amitabh Kant along with Sh Abhiraj Singh Bhal of Urban Company which offers convenience to people and skill training to its employees, Sh Ravichandran of eVidyaloka which provides online education, Ms Vrinda Kapoor of Third iTech, Inc, Sh the founder of sliceit_, Sh Kamesh Goyal of Digital Insurance which allows consumers to buy insurance covers from the comfort of their home or office, Sh Sunil Vachani of Dixon Technologies India Limited, Sh Vivek Raghavan, the co-founder of Sarvam, Sh Arvind Gupta Arvind Gupta, founding member of the thinktank DIF, and senior journalist Ms Marya Shakil among others.

🇮🇳 ऑपरेशन सिंदूर, न्याय की अखंड प्रतिज्ञा है। 🇮🇳 ऑपरेशन सिंदूर ने आतंक के ख़िलाफ़ लड़ाई में एक नई लकीर खींच दी है - एक नया पैमाना, न्यू नार्मल तय कर दिया है। 🇮🇳 निश्चित तौर पर ये युग युद्ध का नहीं है, लेकिन ये युग आतंकवाद का भी नहीं है। PM Sh Narendra Modi Ji delivers a brilliantly impassioned, unambiguous and statesmanlike message to Pakistan which should instil the fear of God in the hearts of terrorists and exporters of terror who roam free in its backyard. The world has seen the precision with which New India has used new age warfare and weapons to establish a new normal to systematically destroy the Universities of Terrorism in Bahawalpur and Muridke. The world has witnessed how we dispatched more than 100 hardcore terrorists and their masters to burning fires of hell. मिट्टी में मिला दिया। The force and strength with which India came down on terror infrastructure and Pakistani military installations & bases shows there will be no compromise on the terror front - Zero Tolerance. There will be no nuclear blackmail. ▪️Terror and talks WILL NOT go hand in hand. ▪️Terror and trade WILL NOT coexist. ▪️Blood and water WILL NOT flow together. Such was the potent power of India’s resolve that the Pakistanis came to India on their knees pleading for a halt in the hammering our armed forces were giving them. The way we decimated these nurseries of terror shows that the Sindoor Doctrine will be the new doctrine against any such act. #OperationSindoor is not over. India will give back to terror and their backers in the language they understand if they ever think of rearing their heads again.
