Dynamic Present

Following are the major existing projects being developed by BD&JV:

Future Possible

In the conventional domain of hydrocarbon molecule, BD&JV is exploring feasibility of sourcing LNG on competitive basis to meet long-term natural gas demand of India and thereby furthering energy security of the country. ONGC is also planning to invest in Regasification Terminal with total capacity of 5-10 mmtpa as envisaged in Perspective Plan - 2030.

Oil and gas are going to remain mainstay of the company for a long time to come, however, the fossil fuel, the source of which is finite would be facing increasingly difficult challenges to explore and exploit. Further, with the increasing focus of the world community on environment, clean energy is slated to play increasing role in energy basket of any country.
ONGC has imbibed this emerging reality in its stated mission of providing value linkage to other sectors of energy business. In order to create growth opportunities and maximize shareholder value, along with its continued thrust for exploration & production of hydrocarbon, ONGC intends to play an important role in development of nonconventional energy resource for the country. ONGC’s resource base is an enabler in creating such growth opportunities.

ONGC has already taken a concrete step in this direction by setting up a 51 MW wind farm in Gujarat. BD&JV is now taking the initiative further for significant addition of capacity in the portfolio. The Group is also actively examining and pursuing various prospects in the domains of offshore wind, solar, hydro and nuclear energy sources while engaging with some of the best players in the respective domains.

A gas based urea fertilizer plant in Tripura is in active consideration by ONGC for early monetization of new gas discovery in the acreage awarded to ONGC in NELP III round. The project is envisaged to be set up in Joint Venture mode with one of a leading fertilizer company of India and Government of Tripura based on techno-commercial viability.
