#WATCH | Mumbai: Arun Kumar Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), says, "We are here at IIT Bombay to promote and invite people to join us for the MC Square Plus Ignite event. Basically, this is an invitation to all startups to join the energy ecosystem because we felt that we probably need much more in the energy startup ecosystem than what we have today. It's a total Indian ecosystem. If you take today's figures, only 0.2% is in oil and gas, and only 2% is in energy. So, this needs to be far more if you take the country's strategic purpose and depth to become Atmanirbhar Bharat. So, we are here. We have aggregated the pool of all PSU resources and prioritized the areas where we should make a difference and tap young minds and startups to fuel innovation. So, this is the purpose and in the direction of making India Atmanirbhar by 2047. We can't become Atmanirbhar Bharat without becoming Energy Atmanirbhar..."

Building stronger public enterprises for a stronger India. 🇮🇳

At the @FollowCII #PSECouncil 2026–27 Interactive Session, @DPE_GoI Secretary Shri K. Moses Chalai, IAS, highlighted the pivotal role of CPSEs in driving India’s economic growth through competitive pricing, infrastructure creation, employment generation and inclusive development.

The session, attended by @IndianOilcl Director (Refineries) Arvind Kumar (@DirR_iocl), and #ONGC Director (Strategy & Corporate Affairs) @SatyanKumarONGC underscored the growing momentum towards a more integrated and competitive public sector ecosystem.

During the interaction, ONGC's Director (S&CA) emphasised the need to enhance the investment approval powers of Maharatna CPSEs beyond the existing ₹5,000 crore limit, noting that the present ceiling can constrain timely decision-making on large strategic investments. The Secretary, DPE, acknowledged the concern and agreed on the need to examine the proposal.

With CPSEs entering into memorandums of understanding (MoU) with 93 peer organisations, the focus is on deeper collaboration, stronger inter-company benchmarking and strategic leadership to support India’s industrial growth ambitions.

The road ahead is equally transformative, accelerating Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence, innovation, reverse engineering, blockchain and digital technologies to build globally competitive enterprises.

Collaborating stronger. Innovating faster. Building an #AtmanirbharBharat and #ViksitBharat.

#ONGC proudly celebrates the remarkable journey of Shri Pradeep Kumar Goel, Executive Director - Head – Inventory, Stock & Disposal, as he marks his superannuation, bringing to a close nearly four decades of dedicated service shaped by procurement excellence, resource stewardship, and institutional commitment.

A Mechanical Engineer by qualification, Shri Goel joined ONGC in 1987 and built an extensive career in Materials Management, spanning the entire spectrum of purchase, inventory, stores, procurement, and supply-chain functions. His journey across Mumbai, Panvel, Dehradun, Jorhat, and Delhi gave him a deep understanding of ONGC’s operational requirements and the critical role that efficient materials management plays in keeping the organisation’s vast energy operations moving.

Beginning his career in Purchase at Mumbai, he went on to handle Purchase & Stock at Panvel before assuming increasingly important responsibilities in Dehradun, including In-charge – Purchase & Stock, Central Stores, and PMC. His subsequent tenure as In-charge – Materials Management at Jorhat brought his expertise closer to field operations, strengthening the interface between procurement systems and operational priorities.

His career then moved to the corporate helm in Delhi, where he served across key Materials Management assignments before becoming Head Purchase – Corporate MM. In these roles, Shri Goel contributed to strengthening procurement processes and ensuring that critical materials and resources remained aligned with the evolving requirements of ONGC’s operations.

In the final phase of his distinguished career, as Head – Inventory, Stock & Disposal, he brought decades of institutional experience to the strategic management of ONGC’s inventory and material resources. His progression from an MM Officer in 1987 to Executive Director in 2023 reflects a professional journey built steadily through experience, responsibility, and commitment.

With every procurement enabled, every inventory system strengthened, and every operational requirement supported, Shri Pradeep Kumar Goel has contributed to an essential backbone of ONGC’s energy operations. He leaves behind a legacy of diligence, dependability, and enduring service to the organisation.

#ONGC proudly celebrates the extraordinary journey of Shri Ajay Kumar Sharma, Executive Director & President – Western Offshore, as he marks his superannuation, a moment that signifies the culmination of a legacy built on drilling excellence, offshore leadership, and unwavering commitment to India’s energy security.

A Mechanical Engineer by training, Shri Sharma joined ONGC in 1987 and built a distinguished career that traversed the rig floors of Agartala, offshore drilling in Mumbai, strategic planning, logistics, asset management, and ultimately the leadership of Western Offshore. His journey from a Driller to President – Western Offshore reflects the depth of experience, resilience, and operational insight that defined his nearly four-decade-long association with ONGC.

From serving as Tool Pusher on offshore rig Sagar Jyoti to leading deep onshore drilling operations in Agartala, managing rigs in Mumbai, and later steering resource planning and drilling operations for B&S Asset, Shri Sharma developed a rare understanding of both field execution and strategic coordination. His experience across Agartala, Mumbai, Delhi, and Panvel shaped a leadership style grounded equally in technical rigour and practical wisdom.

In senior leadership roles as Head – Nhava Supply Base, Chief Offshore Logistics, Asset Manager – Mumbai High Asset, and finally President – Western Offshore, he played a pivotal role in strengthening the operational backbone of ONGC’s offshore business. He also contributed significantly to ONGC’s collaboration with @bp_plc for the Mumbai High field, helping bring together technical expertise, operational experience, and strategic alignment to unlock greater value from one of India’s most important producing assets.

Known for his calm authority, hands-on leadership, and deep connect with field teams, Shri Sharma earned the respect of colleagues across generations. He was never just leading operations, he was building confidence, enabling teams, and reinforcing the discipline and resilience that define ONGC’s offshore spirit.

With every rig mobilised, every offshore challenge navigated, and every team empowered, Shri Ajay Kumar Sharma has left an imprint that goes far beyond designation. He leaves behind a legacy of operational strength, dependable leadership, and enduring service to the nation’s energy mission.

Hon’ble Chief Minister of Assam, Dr. @himantabiswa, met @ChairmanONGC @singharunongc, as #ONGC reaffirmed its steadfast solidarity with the people of Assam in the aftermath of the devastating floods.

Translating commitment into action, ONGC has pledged ₹25 crore towards the restoration and rebuilding of flood-affected schools and educational institutions, as well as the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, helping rebuild not only infrastructure, but also classrooms, hope and the future of Assam’s children.

The unprecedented floods have also caused significant damage to ONGC’s own facilities across the state, with restoration estimated at approximately ₹175 crore. Even as work progresses to restore these installations, ONGC remains firmly committed to supporting Assam and its communities through recovery and rebuilding.

With Assam. For Assam. In Assam.

Rebuilding today. Restoring hope for tomorrow.
