GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND SCHEMES

Cabinet Approves Samudra Manthan Scheme to Boost Offshore Exploration

The Union Cabinet approved the Samudra Manthan – National Offshore Exploration Scheme, with an outlay of ₹84,084 crore. The programme aims to accelerate oil and gas exploration in India’s deepwater and ultra-deepwater offshore basins. It will fund seismic surveys, exploratory drilling, and the development of offshore infrastructure such as platforms, pipelines, and storage facilities. The scheme seeks to strengthen domestic energy security by expanding the mapping of underexplored offshore blocks and improving recovery from existing fields. By supporting new discoveries and faster monetisation, officials say the plan could help reduce dependence on imports and boost energy-related industries. The initiative aligns with national energy policies and long-term strategic goals.
