About UrjaVarta

As India’s energy sector is progressively moving towards the path of energy transition, energy security serves as a backbone for reliable and continual energy access to 140 crores citizens of India. India is successfully navigating the complexities in global energy market by adopting 4-plank energy security strategy based on increasing Exploration and Production efforts, diversifying supplies, usage of alternate energy sources and moving towards green energy to ensure a sustainable future.

India’s exploration and production sector continues to play a pivotal role in meeting the nation's energy demands and propelling economic growth. With India striving to boost domestic oil and gas production to satisfy its escalating energy requirements and reduce reliance on imports, stakeholders are exploring innovative strategies across exploration, development and production. The goal is to attract investments, leverage leading practices, and deploy advanced technologies to unlock the vast potential of its hydrocarbon resources, much of which remains still untapped.

Aligned with the goal, Directorate General of Hydrocarbon (DGH) is delighted to host UrjaVarta 2024, a two-day event designed to serve as a strategic forum for industry operators, policymakers, service providers, experts, think tanks, and academia to exchange knowledge, network, and collaborate towards realizing the full potential of India's upstream hydrocarbon resources in a sustainable manner. This two-day event is focused on the themes that are essential for the resilience and growth of the industry, emphasizing the importance of collaborative efforts, policy incentives, technology and digital solutions, emerging business opportunities, and decarbonization.
