Speaking at the India Energy Week 2027 curtain-raiser, he emphasized the role of technology in addressing challenges related to E20 petrol use without affecting consumers. Sinha also noted India's high incremental energy demand and ONGC's focus on expanding domestic production, including in deepwater areas, amid global energy security concerns.
