The Union Cabinet has approved the 'Samudra Manthan' National Offshore Exploration Scheme, allocating a total budget of ₹84,084 crore to boost offshore oil and gas exploration.
The initiative is designed to serve as a strategic game-changer for India's energy sector by incentivizing exploration activities in offshore regions.
The scheme aims to enhance domestic energy production capacity, aligning with broader national goals for infrastructure development and energy security.
