The Rajasthan government announced plans to increase its crude oil production capacity to 80,000 barrels per day, according to ET EnergyWorld.
The state government of Rajasthan has disclosed a strategic plan to raise its crude oil output to 80,000 barrels per day, as reported by ET EnergyWorld. The announcement signals a concerted effort to expand the state's contribution to India's domestic oil supply.
While the current production levels were not specified, the proposed target marks a notable escalation in output. Rajasthan, already one of the few Indian states with operational oil fields, is looking to capitalize on its existing infrastructure and recent exploration successes.
Officials indicated that the increase will be pursued through enhanced drilling activities and possible collaborations with private sector partners. If achieved, the higher output could improve the state's revenue base and reduce dependence on imported crude.
The timeline for reaching the 80,000‑barrel goal has not been detailed, and further regulatory clearances are expected before large‑scale operations commence.
