India Plans to Boost Domestic Natural Gas and Biogas Production Amid Global Energy Challenges
India's Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri highlighted the need to reduce reliance on imported fuels by boosting domestic natural gas and compressed biogas production. He noted that India currently imports about half of its natural gas and aims to increase natural gas's share in the energy mix from 6% to 15% by 2030. Amid ongoing global energy turbulence, India has managed to shield consumers from sharp price rises. Government initiatives like Samudra Manthan and Gobardhan are expected to enhance domestic energy availability.
