ONGC plans to invest ₹97,000 crore by 2030 to establish 5 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity. This includes solar parks, onshore wind projects, pump storage plants, biogas facilities, and offshore wind turbines.
By 2035, an additional ₹65,500 crore will be allocated primarily for green hydrogen and green ammonia plants, followed by ₹38,000 crore by 2038 for expanding offshore wind energy projects.
Recognizing the environmental impact of gas flaring, ONGC plans to invest ₹5,000 crore in technology-driven interventions to eliminate gas flaring entirely by 2030. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce methane emissions, contributing to the company's sustainability goals.
ONGC intends to install offshore wind turbines capable of generating 0.5 GW of electricity by 2030, with plans to double this capacity by 2035. By 2038, an additional 1 GW of offshore wind energy capacity will be added, amounting to a total investment of ₹25,000 crore.
While advancing its green initiatives, ONGC remains committed to sustaining hydrocarbon production to meet India's energy demands. This includes ongoing efforts to enhance crude oil and natural gas output from its offshore and onshore installations.
The initiatives aim to offset 9 million tonnes of carbon emissions (both Scope-1 and Scope-2) generated directly or indirectly by ONGC. Scope-1 emissions stem from direct sources under the company's control, while Scope-2 emissions result from purchased energy consumption.
