ONGC Begins Gas Sales from Chinnewala Tibba Field in Rajasthan
As of August 25, 2025, ONGC has commenced gas sales at a rate of 1.0 lakh standard cubic meters per day (LSCMD).
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has started selling natural gas from its Chinnewala Tibba field in Rajasthan, marking a key step in India’s efforts to boost domestic energy production and strengthen energy security. The field, located in Western Rajasthan near the Indo-Pakistan border, spans 73 square kilometers and is part of the Discovered Small Field (DSF-II) block within the Rajasthan Kutch Onland Exploratory Asset. Its development reflects ONGC’s focus on tapping smaller, underutilized reserves to meet rising energy demands.
As of August 25, 2025, ONGC has commenced gas sales at a rate of 1.0 lakh standard cubic meters per day (LSCMD). The gas is being supplied to the Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL) facility in Ramgarh via ONGC’s Gamnewala Gas Collection Station. This operation involved close coordination with the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), GAIL, Oil India Limited (OIL), and RRVUNL to ensure seamless integration of the gas into the regional power grid.
The initiation of gas sales from Chinnewala Tibba is expected to strengthen regional energy security by contributing to local power generation and industrial needs. It also supports ONGC’s broader mandate of efficient resource monetization and reinforces its position as a key player in India’s energy landscape.
Industry observers note that the new gas output could enhance ONGC’s revenue outlook and market performance while helping reduce reliance on imported fuels. By leveraging domestic reserves, ONGC is aligning with India’s strategic goal of energy self-sufficiency and providing a more stable supply for growing consumption in northern and western states.
