Hydrocarbon Vision 2030 (ஹைட்ரோகார்பன் தொலைநோக்கு ஆவணம் 2030)

In an effort to preserve the history of the petroleum industry in India as well as to create awareness
among the people about the richness of the industry’s heritage, K D Malaviya National Oil Museum
(KDMNOM) has been conceived by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. The Museum is a joint
effort on the part of the public sector units of the petroleum industry under the aegis of the MoP&NG. A
number of activities have been carried out, such as appointment of an architect, approval of concept &
design, earth filling, soil testing, boundary wall etc., to create the infrastructure. The project is
estimated to be completed in two phases spanning six years. In the first phase, major building and
other infrastructures would be completed and the Museum can be made open to public with a few
Galleries. Rest of the allied facilities and Galleries are to be completed in another two years’ time.
