With this registration, ONGC now has 10 registered CDM projects. Such a double digit portfolio of CDM projects by a single organization is the first in India and very rare feat even globally.
OTPC is being developed by ONGC as a joint venture with the Tripura government. This project is a result of rigorous efforts over the last three and a half years.
Speaking after the registration, a visibly proud ONGC CMD Mr. Sudhir Vasudeva said, “Our Sustainable Development record is commendable. Our commitment to Sustainable Development is organically integrated to our Exploration and Development of energy assets”.
