(c) Government has adopted a five-pronged strategy comprising increasing domestic production  of  oil  and  gas,  promoting  energy  efficiency  and  conservation  measures,  giving thrust  on  demand  substitution,  promoting  biofuels  and  other  alternate  fuels/  renewables,  EV charging facilities and refinery process improvements for reducing the county's oil dependence on imported crude oil.

Various steps have been taken by the Government to increase the production of domestic crude oil and bring down imports. These inter-alia include Discovered Small Field Policy, Reforms in Hydrocarbon  Exploration  and  Licensing  Policy  for  enhancing  domestic  exploration  and production of Oil & Gas 2019, Natural Gas Marketing Reforms 2020, Policy to promote and incentivize enhanced recovery methods for Oil and Gas, Redevelopment of existing matured fields  and  development  of  new/marginal  fields,  Revival  of  Sick  Wells,  improving  recovery factors  through  the  implementation  of  Improved  Oil  Recovery  (IOR)  and  Enhanced  Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques, etc. Government has also provided functional freedom to national Oil  Companies  and  promoted  wider  private  sector  participation  by  streamlining  approval processes through electronic single window mechanism.

In  addition,  Government  launched  National  Biofuel  Policy,  2018,  to  boost  availability  of biofuels  in  country  and  use  of  alternative  clean  fuels  like  ethanol,  bio-diesel  and  bio-CNG through  schemes  for  Ethanol  Blending,  Bio-diesel  blending  and  Sustainable  Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation. Ethanol blending in Petrol during the Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2021-22 (December 2021-November 2022) is estimated to have had impact of over Rs. 22,600 Crore on the import bill of crude oil and petroleum products. The National Policy on Biofuels - 2018 as amended targets 20% blending of ethanol in petrol by ESY 2025-26. Public Sector  OMCs  have  already  achieved  over  10%  ethanol  blending  in  petrol  during  Ethanol Supply  Year  (ESY)  2021-22.  Sale  of  E-20  (20%  ethanol  blended  petrol)  fuel  has  also  been launched in February, 2023.
