06-Jun-2026

Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday announced the finding of natural gas in the Andaman Sea, a development that could strengthen India’s efforts to increase domestic energy production and reduce dependence on imported fuel. The discovery was made at the Sri Vijayapuram-3 exploratory well drilled by Oil India Ltd around 15 kilometres off the east coast of the Andaman Islands. According to the minister, the well was drilled in waters about 355 metres deep, and initial testing confirmed the presence of natural gas.
