The development of Odisha’s oil reserve has been postponed further after the United Arab Emirates expressed interest in securing a crude‑oil sales agreement.
The Odisha oil reserve project, aimed at tapping the state’s offshore reserves, has been delayed again as the UAE seeks a pact on crude sales.
Officials said the delay stems from ongoing negotiations with the UAE, which is interested in securing a long‑term supply agreement for crude from the project.
The postponement could affect the timeline for the project’s development and the region’s energy output, according to state authorities.
