Hydrocarbons

Sector header

The global energy fabric is undergoing a tectonic shift as the world grapples with climate change-related challenges. Consequently, our national energy transition contours are also changing fast as India is gearing up to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. To make the most of this transitional wave, we must leverage the unique synergies between the leading forces from energy fraternity. It is also imperative that the hydrocarbons sector aligns itself strategically as alternate fuel sources take up more space in the national energy pie.
