Greetings to the members of the IndianOil family on the occasion of IndianOil Day.
Under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji, India’s energy sector, driven by its PSU Maharatnas, is anchoring the nation’s resilient journey towards energy security by ensuring affordable supplies and stabilising markets amid ongoing global crises.
As responsible corporate citizens, India’s OMCs have borne the brunt of global disruptions by absorbing losses, sustaining energy imports and ensuring uninterrupted fuel supplies to citizens. Not a single retail outlet ran dry.
By keeping fuels prices steady despite mounting costs, OMCs like @IndianOilcl have shielded millions of citizens from the full impact of global shocks. They have effectively cushioned consumers from supply-chain disruptions arising from the situation around the Strait of Hormuz.
With 42,818 retail outlets and over 2,600 CNG stations, IndianOil continues to expand energy access across India. It has invested more than ₹30,000 crore annually over the past five years to strengthen the nation’s energy infrastructure, while maintaining financial discipline.

From the pages of #TheSariEternal to the hands of a dear friend. ✨
A special joy to present The Sari Eternal to my dear friend @GeetanjaliKir - someone who finds a place in the book itself.
I write of Geetanjali among India’s accomplished women leaders for whom the sari has become a signature dress — worn with confidence, individuality and an effortless rootedness in our culture.
That is precisely what The Sari Eternal celebrates: how the sari continues to accompany the Indian woman into every sphere of achievement and leadership, remaining timeless even as she reinvents herself and her world.
All the more meaningful, therefore, to place this book in the hands of a friend who so beautifully embodies that spirit. ❤️

My thanks to Shri @NayabSainiBJP ji, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Haryana and my dear colleague in council of ministers, Shri @Rao_InderjitS ji, for their support and encouragement towards the MoUs signed between OIL Green Energy Limited, the wholly owned subsidiary of @OilIndiaLimited, one of our Maharatna CPSEs and four Municipalities of Haryana — Gurugram, Faridabad, Hisar and Ambala — for setting up Integrated CBG and Waste-to-Energy projects across the respective clusters.
The four projects will scientifically process 5,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste per day to produce an estimated 70–75 TPD of Compressed Biogas (CBG) along with 50 MW of green power.
Aligned with the GOBARdhan scheme of 2026 as per the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji, these projects will further the objectives of #SwachhBharat and #WasteToWealth while providing impetus to India’s transition towards a gas-based and circular economy.
By converting the wet biodegradable fraction of municipal waste into CBG and the non-recyclable dry fraction into green power, the initiative demonstrates how scientific waste management can contribute simultaneously to cleaner cities, indigenous clean energy and resource recovery at scale.

सत्य, धार्मिकता और आध्यात्मिकता का जीवन जीने के लिए मानव जाति को दिव्य मार्गदर्शन करने वाले हमारे शबद गुरु, श्री गुरु ग्रंथ साहिब जी के संपूर्णता दिवस के शुभ अवसर पर बहुत बहुत बधाई।
In the 137th edition of #MannKiBaat, PM Sh @narendramodi Ji once again highlighted inspiring grassroots stories, citizen-led initiatives and the power of positive public participation in nation-building.
He spoke about youth empowerment, the collective resolve for a Nasha Mukt Bharat, India’s rich heritage, and innovation and entrepreneurship across rural and urban India, while emphasising how technology can help preserve and bring our history closer to the people and the spirit of Jan Bhagidari.
This spirit is also reflected in the journey of the visionary PM SVANidhi Scheme which has emerged as a powerful instrument of financial inclusion, providing street vendors with affordable working-capital loans, digital opportunities and greater financial dignity.
With nearly 46% of beneficiaries, of which around 35 lakh being women, the scheme has become an important enabler of women-led development.
It helps mothers and sisters grow their businesses, strengthen their families and build greater confidence and financial independence.
Launched in June 2020, PM SVANidhi is not just supporting livelihoods, but nurturing inclusive, dignified and empowered growth.

'नशा मुक्त युवा फॉर विकसित भारत संकल्प अभियान' !
नशामुक्त भारत के संकल्प को जन-जन का आंदोलन बनाने के लिए प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी ने #MannKiBaat में एक महत्वपूर्ण आह्वान किया है।
उन्होंने युवाओं, कलाकारों, संगीतकारों, विद्यार्थियों और Content Creators से आग्रह किया कि वे अपनी रचनात्मकता के माध्यम से नशे के खिलाफ एक मजबूत संदेश समाज तक पहुँचाएँ।
🎵 युवा ऐसे गीत बनाएँ, जो Drug-Free Life की प्रेरणा दें।
🎭 विद्यार्थी और थिएटर समूह ऐसे नाटक तैयार करें, जो नशे के खतरे के साथ उससे बाहर निकलने का रास्ता भी दिखाएँ।
📱 Content Creators अलग-अलग भारतीय भाषाओं में ऐसा meaningful content बनाएँ, जो युवाओं को नशे से दूर रहने के लिए प्रेरित करे।
क्योंकि कई बार एक गीत, एक कहानी, एक वीडियो या एक मंचीय प्रस्तुति वह असर छोड़ जाती है, जो कोई औपचारिक अभियान नहीं छोड़ पाता।
आइए, अपने-अपने तरीके से इस पवित्र संकल्प में योगदान दें और भारत की युवा शक्ति को नशे से दूर, स्वस्थ, सशक्त और सपनों की ओर अग्रसर रखें।
अपने प्रयासों को सोशल मीडिया पर #नशामुक्तयुवा के साथ जरूर साझा करें।
Delighted to see Swallowing the Sun receive such a powerful and perceptive reading from Kirkus Reviews, which calls it:
“Puri’s historical novel is an epic saga of one girl’s growth throughout the decades that culminate in India’s postcolonial nationhood. The novel’s 60 chapters present the experiences of Malati Desai, an Indian girl from the Kshatriya caste of warriors and kings, in the three decades preceding India’s achievement of independence from British colonial rule in 1947. The vicissitudes of life for the Desai family are presented in lush detail. Malati grows from a pugnacious girl who tackles Bhika the schoolyard bully into a superwoman attorney and role model for those women of India who remain bound by tradition. Concrete descriptive details of curries, saris, and bangles are embedded in accounts of banditry attacks, secret romantic liaisons, and tragic family deaths. Historical figures, such as Annie Besant and Mahatma Gandhi, appear against this turbulent backdrop. By the end of the novel, Malati emerges as a colossal embodiment of the newly liberated Mother India, invested with the power to swallow the sun and retain its volcanic revolutionary fire in her belly. The novel is a monumental homage to a crucial period in world history, promising to inspire and to empower today’s generation of women.”
उज़्बेकिस्तान के सर्वोच्च सम्मान ‘Oliy Darajali Do‘stlik’ से सम्मानित होने पर प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी को हार्दिक बधाई।
यह सम्मान केवल प्रधानमंत्री मोदी जी का नहीं, बल्कि 140 करोड़ भारतीयों के बढ़ते गौरव और वैश्विक प्रतिष्ठा का सम्मान है।
दुनिया के अलग-अलग देशों द्वारा दिए गए 35 प्रतिष्ठित सर्वोच्च सम्मानों की यह यात्रा बताती है कि भारत की आवाज़ आज वैश्विक मंच पर कितनी मजबूती से सुनी जा रही है।
हर सम्मान के पीछे नए भारत की बढ़ती प्रतिष्ठा, विश्वसनीयता और वैश्विक नेतृत्व की कहानी है।
मोदी जी के नेतृत्व में भारत आज केवल दुनिया से संबंध नहीं बना रहा, बल्कि विश्वास, मित्रता और साझेदारी का नया अध्याय लिख रहा है।

I pay tribute to India’s former President and statesman, Bharat Ratna Shri Pranab Mukherjee Ji, on his Punya Tithi.
He will always be remembered for his immense contribution to public life, exemplary service to the nation, and his commitment to bipartisan politics.
His distinguished legacy will continue to inspire generations.
When six yards of fabric became the distance between danger and life.
Among the many extraordinary details in this story of survival near the Nepal–Tibet border, one stayed with me.
As floodwaters and falling boulders engulfed the mountain road, a group of mostly older pilgrims scrambled up a steep, mud-slicked embankment. Poongodi, having reached the top, removed her saree and lowered it to those struggling below. One by one, they held on and climbed. When one woman could go no further, the saree was tied around her waist and the others pulled her to safety.
Having written #TheSariEternal , I found the story profoundly moving.
The saree has never been merely six yards of fabric. It carries memory, identity, resourcefulness and the quiet resilience of generations of Indian women. It has accompanied us through celebration and grief, ritual and everyday life, constantly adapting while remaining unmistakably itself.
And on that mountainside, its symbolism became startlingly real.
The saree became a rope, a bond, a means of rescue — quite literally a thread connecting one human being to another.
Perhaps that is what makes the saree eternal: not simply that it has endured through centuries, but that in every age, and in the most unexpected moments, it continues to become what life asks of it.
Six yards. A human chain. A timeless symbol of strength transformed into a lifeline.
Happy to meet Amb. Dr. K. Srikar Reddy Ji, with whom I’ve had the opportunity of working during my tenure in the Ministry of Commerce between 2019-2021. It is wonderful to see him take on his new responsibility as India’s Ambassador to Qatar.
India and Qatar share a warm and enduring partnership, with energy cooperation as one of its key pillars. During my visit to Doha in April 2026, I had fruitful discussions with Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs and President and CEO of QatarEnergy, H.E. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi on further strengthening our strategic partnership and building a reliable, long-term energy relationship, under the leadership and guidance of PM Shri @narendramodi Ji.
The 20-year LNG agreement between Petronet LNG and QatarEnergy, securing 7.5 million tonnes of LNG annually from 2028 to 2048, is a landmark achievement in our energy partnership and an important pillar of India’s long-term energy security.

Amid global uncertainties, oil price shocks and supply-chain disruptions, the collective strength across sectors, along with the resilience and enterprise of 1.4 billion Indians, has once again powered the nation forward under the visionary leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji and the success of his energy diplomacy.
India has achieved an exemplary 7.8% GDP growth in Q1 FY 2026-27, reaffirming its position as one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies.
Through transformative reforms and development policies focused on social and financial inclusion, India is strengthening its position as a key engine of global economic growth while building a stronger, more inclusive and self-reliant nation.
सभी देशवासियों को स्नेह के पवित्र एवं अटूट बंधन के पावन पर्व रक्षाबंधन की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ।
यह पावन पर्व भाई-बहन के प्रेम, विश्वास और स्नेह के रिश्ते को और मजबूत करे तथा सभी के जीवन में सुख, समृद्धि एवं खुशियाँ लेकर आए।

विश्व संस्कृत दिवस के अवसर पर हम अपनी उस दिव्य भाषा का उत्सव मनाते हैं, जिसने हमारी संस्कृति, परंपराओं और ज्ञान को गहराई से आकार दिया है।
माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के मार्गदर्शन में भारत संस्कृत को आधुनिक युग में जीवंत, समृद्ध और जन-जन तक पहुँचाने के लिए निरंतर प्रयासरत है।
आइए, देववाणी संस्कृत की समृद्ध विरासत का सम्मान करें और इसके शाश्वत ज्ञान को नई पीढ़ी तक पहुँचाने का संकल्प लें।
#विश्वसंस्कृतदिवस
कभी बैंक खाता होना भी एक privilege माना जाता था। आज जन-धन ने इस सोच को बदल दिया है।
प्रधानमंत्री श्री @narendramodi जी के नेतृत्व में जन-धन सिर्फ़ बैंक खाता नहीं, करोड़ों भारतीयों की financial identity और आर्थिक सशक्तिकरण का माध्यम बन गया है।
2015 में 14.7 करोड़ जन-धन खातों से शुरू हुई वित्तीय समावेशन की यह यात्रा 2026 में बढ़कर 59 करोड़ खातों तक पहुँच चुकी है।
और सबसे खास बात, इस बदलाव में महिलाओं की भागीदारी भी मजबूत हुई है। आज करीब 33 करोड़ महिलाएँ जन-धन खातों से जुड़ी हैं, जो कुल खाताधारकों का 56% हैं।
यानी बैंकिंग अब सिर्फ़ शहरों या चुनिंदा लोगों तक सीमित नहीं रही, आम आदमी से लेकर ग्रामीण परिवारों और महिलाओं तक, वित्तीय व्यवस्था की पहुँच आखिरी छोर तक पहुँची है।

समुद्र मंथन: समुद्र की गहराइयों से ऊर्जा आत्मनिर्भरता के अमृत की तलाश !
भारत के पास 20 लाख वर्ग किलोमीटर+ का Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) है, जिसके भीतर ऊर्जा संसाधनों की अपार संभावनाएँ मौजूद हैं।
बावजूद इसके हर साल भारत को बड़ी मात्रा में कच्चा तेल विदेशों से आयात करना पड़ता है।
क्योंकि लंबे समय तक करीब 10 लाख वर्ग किलोमीटर समुद्री क्षेत्र ‘No-Go’ रहा।
अब PM @narendramodi जी के नेतृत्व में सोच भी बदली है और दिशा भी।
करीब 99% No-Go क्षेत्र को Exploration के लिए खोला गया और अब भारत के ऊर्जा क्षेत्र में परिवर्तनकारी अध्याय लिखने जा रहे ₹84,084 करोड़ के ‘समुद्र मंथन’ मिशन के जरिए offshore oil & gas exploration को नई गति दी जाएगी।
इस मिशन का लक्ष्य 600 मिलियन मीट्रिक टन से अधिक oil equivalent को भारत के hydrocarbon reserves में जोड़ना है।
आज भारत करीब 62 MMT सालाना domestic oil & gas production से आगे बढ़कर 80 MMT के लक्ष्य की ओर बढ़ रहा है।
हमारी पौराणिक परंपरा में समुद्र मंथन से अमृत निकला था।
आज का ‘समुद्र मंथन’ 21वीं सदी के भारत के लिए ऊर्जा आत्मनिर्भरता का अमृत खोजेगा।

In a significant step towards further strengthening India’s unprecedented journey towards energy security and boosting domestic production of hydrocarbons under the dynamic leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji, the first commercial hydrocarbon discovery by @ONGC_ in the Bengal Basin at Ashoknagar has moved a decisive step closer to monetisation.
In less than three months since the spudding of development well AS-1Z on 30 May 2026, ONGC successfully established the flow potential of light, high-quality crude oil.
The maiden consignment of crude oil from the field was flagged off today for transportation to @IndianOilcl’s Haldia Refinery in the presence of Ashoknagar MLA Dr. Sumay Hira Ji by Director- Exploration of the energy Maharatna.
Years of exploration and perseverance are now translating into production potential, placing West Bengal firmly on India’s hydrocarbon map as the state progresses under the leadership of CM Sh @SuvenduBJP Ji.

On his Jayanti, I pay tribute to the legendary Major Dhyan Chand Ji, the ‘Wizard of Hockey’ and one of the greatest and most inspirational sportspersons the world has seen. His extraordinary skill and unparalleled contribution to Indian hockey are remembered to this day and continue to inspire generations of athletes.
On #NationalSportsDay, celebrated in honour of his legacy, I extend my warm greetings and best wishes to all our sportspersons, coaches and champions who bring pride and glory to our nation.
May the spirit of sportsmanship, determination and excellence inspire our youth to dream bigger, strive harder and make India proud, as they carry forward the legacy of those who took to the field before them.
For more than a decade now, under the guidance of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji, there has been a concerted effort to build India into a strong sporting nation. This commitment is reflected in the consistently improving medal tallies of Indian contingents at major international tournaments and sporting events.
Promising young athletes today have greater support to pursue their sporting careers, with an enabling ecosystem that provides funding, quality training and coaching, along with support in areas such as nutrition and sports science.
As more young Indians take up different sports, including disciplines that were once unfamiliar to many of us, they are stepping onto the world stage with confidence and competing successfully at the highest levels. In doing so, they are expanding our idea of what Indian sport can achieve and inspiring many more young people to dream bigger.
The India of today is not just producing more champions; it is creating an environment in which many more young Indians can aspire to become one.
