#ONGC welcomes the Union Cabinet’s approval of #SamudraManthan, the visionary National Offshore Exploration Scheme, with an outlay of ₹84,084 crore through FY 2030–31.
Approved under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi, this landmark initiative marks a decisive step towards unlocking India’s vast offshore hydrocarbon potential and strengthening the nation’s long-term energy security.
By accelerating exploration and production across India’s deepwater and ultra-deepwater regions, the scheme will provide fresh momentum to domestic hydrocarbon production, reduce dependence on energy imports and advance the national vision of an energy-secure and self-reliant #ViksitBharat.

🚀 We are excited to introduce Instella-MoE✨, AMD's first fully open Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language model!
Instella-MoE has 16B total parameters with only 2.8B active parameters per token. Trained from scratch on AMD Instinct™ MI300X and MI325X GPUs using AMD-Primus and Miles frameworks, Instella-MoE combines a sparsely activated MoE design with architectural innovations such as Gated Multi-head Latent Attention (Gated MLA) and FarSkip-Collective. At its scale, it achieves state-of-the-art performance among fully open models.
💡 What makes this release especially significant is that we are opening up far more than the final model weights. The release provides the complete end-to-end training pipeline:
📚 Checkpoints across Pre-training → Mid-training → Long-context extension → SFT → DPO → RL
⚙️ Training recipes and configurations
🗂️ Data mixtures
💻 Training and inference code
We hope this release supports more transparent, reproducible, and efficient open LLM research. We’d love to hear your feedback.

#ONGC proudly celebrates the extraordinary journey of Shri Vivek Chandrakant Tongaonkar, Director (Finance), as he marks his superannuation, a moment that signifies the culmination of a legacy built on numbers, nuance, and unwavering financial stewardship.
From the intricate corridors of offshore project finance to the strategic helm of ONGC and its group entities, including MRPL, Shri Tongaonkar charted a path defined by precision, integrity, and quiet authority. An Electrical Engineer and MBA by qualification, he joined ONGC in 1987 and went on to shape the financial backbone of some of the organisation’s most complex operations.

From handling finance for Panna-Mukta & Tapti JVs to steering financial operations across Assam, Western Onshore Basin, Mumbai High, Corporate Offices, and contributing to group-level financial oversight, he was never just managing accounts, he was enabling decisions that powered ONGC’s growth.
In leadership roles including Chief Offshore Finance, CFO, Chief Corporate Finance, and ultimately Director (Finance), Shri Tongaonkar played a pivotal role in strengthening financial systems, ensuring fiscal discipline, and aligning financial strategy with ONGC’s long-term vision across its ecosystem.
With every balance sheet strengthened, every project enabled, and every system refined, he has left an imprint that goes far beyond designation. He leaves behind not just a function, but a legacy of financial prudence, institutional strength, and enduring trust.

Visakh Refinery RUF Commissioned | A Global First in Refining
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited @HPCL has successfully commissioned the Residue Upgradation Facility (RUF) at its Visakh Refinery, featuring the world’s first and largest LC-Max unit—a major leap in advanced refining.
With a capacity of 3.55 MMTPA, this LC-Max–based RUF is among the world’s most advanced facilities, enabling ~93% conversion of bottom-of-the-barrel residues into high-value distillates. The unit enhances the refinery’s ability to process heavier and opportunity crudes while improving product quality and overall operational efficiency.
This state-of-the-art facility maximises recovery of high-value products from crude oil with minimal residue generation.
