The event showcases cutting-edge technologies like AI-driven analytics, green hydrogen models, and deep-sea ROV simulations, while also hosting discussions on energy security, sustainability, and India’s exploration plans. It serves as a crucial forum for industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to shape the future of energy through partnerships and technological advancements.

Vivek Chandrakant Tongaonkar, ONGC’s Director-Finance, revealed that the Indian government has opened up 1 million sq km of no-go areas, and ONGC plans to explore half of this by spending an additional ₹10,000 crore annually for exploration.
Last year, ONGC expanded its acreage by over 32,000 sq km, bringing its total area to around 180,000 sq km. With the formalization of the ninth round of the Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP), its total acreage is expected to reach 250,000 sq km, marking a significant step toward achieving energy security.
