India has made remarkable strides in its energy initiatives, with the ethanol blending program seeing a significant increase from 1.4% to 20%. This move not only enhances energy security but also contributes to environmental sustainability. Additionally, the country is intensifying efforts in petroleum exploration and production, with plans to escalate production in the Andaman Sea from 35,000 barrels per day to an estimated 245,000 barrels per day. Oil Minister Hardeep Puri highlighted the government's commitment to diversifying energy sources, emphasizing investments in ethanol blending, compressed biogas (CBG), and green hydrogen. The shift from a production-sharing model to a revenue-sharing model in 2016 has stimulated private sector involvement in the energy industry, ensuring expedited returns on investments. This comprehensive approach underscores India's pursuit of a greener and more sustainable energy future.
