Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri announced that 'Urja Varta 2025' will be instrumental in driving India's exploration and production (E&P) sector forward. The energy dialogue, scheduled for July 17 in New Delhi, will focus on India's energy self-reliance, transition goals, and the emerging field of clean and green energy, particularly green hydrogen. The event is set to facilitate discussions on innovation, policy reforms, and energy security. 'Urja Varta 2025' aspires to be a pivotal platform in shaping India's energy landscape and reinforcing the country's commitment to sustainability and innovation in the energy sector. Industry experts, including Capt. Sumit Kumar from Marine Solutionz, have highlighted India's shift towards balancing traditional oil and gas requirements with renewable energy sources, LNG growth, and strategic alliances. The event is seen as crucial in the lead-up to India's Round X of exploration and production bidding, under the Open Acreage Licensing Programme (OALP), which is expected to attract significant global and domestic interest, setting new standards in participation and investment.
