Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri announced that the Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules 2025 will significantly enhance domestic hydrocarbon production and energy security. The Oilfields Amendment Act clarifies lease value disputes, ensuring applications for petroleum leases are decided within 180 days. This regulatory shift may boost investor confidence in the sector.

• ONGC's oil discovery in West Bengal remains stalled due to lease value disputes.

• New rules aim to expedite approvals and production timelines.
