Hydrocarbon Vision 2030 (ஹைட்ரோகார்பன் தொலைநோக்கு ஆவணம் 2030)

16. Hydrocarbon Vision 2030 for NER
16.1 Vision statement
The vision statement for hydrocarbons in the Northeast region lays out the roadmap and medium-tolong
term objectives. It also outlines the focus areas for achieving the desired state by 2030. For the
development of a vision statement linked to the hydrocarbon industry in the NER, key objectives have
been considered. These objectives highlight the macro level indicators that will link the vision
statement with the desired developed state of the hydrocarbon industry in the region.

to clean fuels
Increase LPG pipeline connectivity to ensure access and availability
Develop Gas Grid, CGD networks and CNG Highways in the region
Promote production of bio fuel in the region
Improve availability
of petroleum products
Plan for adequate refining capacity expansion in NER
Ensure connectivity for transporting POL and Crude Oil
Develop crude import infrastructure
Facilitate economic
development
Generate employment through promotion of manufacturing industry
in the region
Promote trade between NER in India and neighboring SAARC countries
Focus on skill development
In keeping with the development objectives, Hydrocarbon Vision 2030 for the NER is as follows:
Develop the region as a dominant hub at the forefront of India’s energy map by utilising its
hydrocarbon potential –
Double oil and gas production (O+OEG in MMTOE) from the region by employing the
latest technology and equipment.
Provide access to clean fuel (LPG / PNG) to all households at affordable prices.
Bolster development of the hydrocarbon sector by creating service provider hubs and
concomitantly improving infrastructure.
Ensure availability to support growth in per capita petroleum product consumption.
Provide pipeline connectivity by installing new petroleum products and LPG pipelines to
connect major supply and demand centres.
Transition towards use of sustainable forms of energy by developing a natural gas grid
and CNG highways that not only inter-connect the states in the region but also connect
these to the national gas grid; this will increase consumption of natural gas as a fuel of
choice.
