Arun Kumar Singh, the Chairman and CEO of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), has called for a critical reassessment of India's energy strategy in light of recent disruptions caused by conflicts in the Middle East. India currently depends on this region for nearly 50% of its crude oil imports, 30% of its natural gas, and 85-90% of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The ongoing geopolitical tensions have exposed the fragility of these supply chains, prompting Singh to advocate for enhanced domestic production and strategic storage solutions. He emphasized the importance of diversifying energy sources and supply chains to mitigate risks associated with global volatility. Singh noted that India's domestic LPG supply has risen significantly from 30% to 60%, demonstrating the potential for self-sufficiency. He urged that the country must aggressively pursue domestic exploration and build resilience against future energy crises, highlighting that in a fragmented world, reliance on foreign supplies may not be sustainable.
