He emphasized that this strategic move will enhance connectivity between ONGC fields and the North East Gas Grid, ultimately benefiting both companies. Kumar further stated that this development will not only provide domestic customers with access to natural gas but also contribute to the overall economic growth of the country.

In line with the Centre’s Hydrocarbon Vision 2030, leveraging the NEGG infrastructure will enable the northeastern region to fully harness its hydrocarbon potential, paving the way for the development of a gas-based economy. IGGL is actively engaging with other natural gas producers to establish connections between their gas fields and the NEGG.

With the NEGG being used to transport 185,000 Standard Cubic Metres per Day (SCMD) from the Jorhat Asset, 82,500 SCMD from the Silchar Asset, and 700,000 SCMD from the Tripura Asset, the outflow of natural gas from ONGC’s assets is anticipated to be significant under these hook-up agreements. Physical completion of the NEGG project, carried out by IGGL, has reached 75.52 percent as of right now.
