Prior to Indian independence, Attock Oil Company and Assam Oil Company of north-western and north-eastern parts respectively in the un-partitioned India were mere solitary companies producing oil with very little input of exploration. The most important portions of various sedimentary basins in India were deemed not to be fit for developing gas and oil resources. After independence, Indian central government comprehended the value and need of oil and gas in this country fostering rapid development of industries. Indian Government analysed the role of gas and oil in Defence. While framing a statement for Industrial Policy in 1948, Indian government pondered and thereby considered it necessary to develop petroleum industry in India’s perspective.
In anticipation during 1955, various private oil companies mostly carried out sheer investigation of available resources of hydrogen in India. The Assam Oil Company was engaged in producing oil in Digboi which was discovered in 1889 and the Oil India Limited Company was busy in developing Moraan and Naharkatiya, the two large newly discovered fields in Assam. In 1956, a new Industrial Policy Resolution was adopted by Central Government of India, which positioned Mineral Oil Industry in a list of ‘A’ scheduled industries.
Soon after the doctorate of Oil and Natural Gas Company was established, it was quite apparent that it’ll not be possible for the Directorate because of limited administrative and financial powers. Thus, in August of 1956 the Directorate was lifted up with enhanced powers to particular rank of a commission. In 1959, that commission was further converted to form a statutory body pertaining to the parliament of India by an act.
The main objectives of the Oil and Natural Gas Commission Act’s provision were designated to plan, organize, implement, promote various programs for sustainable development, production as well as sale of Petroleum Resources or associated Petroleum products which were produced by them. They were also confined to perform some other functions subject to the assignment of Central Government of India. This act also sketched substantial steps and actions to be taken by the Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC) in order to fulfil its mandate.
The company produces almost 69 percent of crude oil from India which is equivalent to almost 30 per cent of the demand of the country. It also produces around 62 per cent of natural gas in the country.
