(c) & (d) During the Urja Sangam held on 27th March, 2015, Hon’ble Prime Minister assigned the target of reducing import dependency in energy by 10% by 2021-22. A Committee was constituted for “Preparing a roadmap to reduce the dependency on import in energy by 10% by 2021-22”. The Committee has submitted its report which envisages a five pronged strategy viz., (i) increasing domestic production, (ii) promoting bio fuels and renewables, (iii) promoting energy efficiency and conservation, (iv) improving refining processes and (v) demand substitution to achieve the target. The report has been accepted by the Government.
Government has taken several steps to enhance exploration & production of oil and gas in the country which include inter-alia Discovered Small Field Policy, National Seismic Programme of unappraised areas, gas pricing reforms, reform initiatives to enhance domestic production, Hydrocarbon Exploration Licensing Policy (HELP), permission of extraction of Coal Bed Methane (CBM) to Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries in coal mining areas, Hydrocarbon Vision for North East, National Data Repository (NDR) and Gas hydrates.
(e) The quantum and value of indigenous production crude oil and natural gas during 2016-17 in Rupee terms is as under:
