Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals

Oil, gas, and petrochemicals form the backbone of India's energy security and industrial supply chain, with the sector contributing approximately 15% of GDP through upstream exploration, refining, and downstream chemicals. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas oversees policy, supported by regulators like PNGRB, while PSUs such as ONGC, IOC, and BPCL dominate production and refining. Current policy direction emphasises reducing import dependence, expanding domestic gas infrastructure, and growing the petrochemicals value chain under the Petroleum, Chemicals and Petrochemicals Investment Region (PCPIR) framework.
