The  share  of  ONGC's  crude  oil  production  in  Country's  total  crude  oil  output  has increased from 61.7% in 2018-19 to 66.5% in 2020-21.

The share  of ONGC's natural gas  production in  Country's total  natural  gas  output has increased from 75.3% in 2018-19 to 77.1% in 2020-21.

(d)  & (e) ONGC is taking up various steps to enhance production of crude oil and natural gas by

-  Redevelopment  of  existing  natural  matured  fields  and  development  of  new Small/marginal fields through cluster development.
-  Monetization of Nomination / NELP discoveries.
-  Enhancement of recovery   factor of matured fields by including IOR and EOR Technologies.
-  Bringing field specific production enhancement model including farm out and Joint Venture/Technical Service Model.
-  Developing  discoveries  made in Krishna Godavari basin

An  investment of  Rs  10392  Crore  is  envisaged  by  ONGC  during  2021-22. Challenges  faced  in  operation  of  E&P  activities  are  generic  and  ONGC  is  taking appropriate steps to address these.
