ONGC, Indian Oil forge strategic partnership to establish LNG plant near Hatta gas field

The establishment of the Hatta LNG plant will significantly improve the status of the Vindhyan basin from a Category II basin to a Category I basin.

The plant will use cutting-edge technology to produce LNG, a cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels, significantly reducing carbon emissions and aligning with India's climate change mitigation goals.

The discovery at Hatta represents the culmination of five decades of sustained exploration efforts. ONGC has already submitted its Field Development Plan (FDP) to the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) to monetize its assets in the Hatta area.

The “non-binding memorandum of understanding” for a small-scale LNG technology demonstration plant at Hatta, Madhya Pradesh, between ONGC and Indian Oil is a visionary step towards a sustainable and prosperous future for India.

As the country moves forward on the path to energy self-sufficiency, the Hatta LNG plant will become a symbol of innovation, collaboration and unwavering commitment to a greener future.
