    Funding of start-ups by PSUs
  • On September 6, Oil Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan had requested PSUs to set-up funds that could holistically nurture innovation in the energy sector.

    He highlighted investments made by industry leaders like Ratan Tata, Narayan Murthy and advised CEOs of PSUs to establish a platform that can 'incubate ideas for oil and gas sector development.'

    In August 2016, ONGC announced a Rs.100 crore start-up fund.

  • Oil Minister Pradhan stressed the need to move towards a methanol economy in which the technology was already proven and could lead to massive jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities.

    He believed raw material to produce methanol should be sourced from the domestic market and monetising agricultural waste and bio waste would have manifold benefits.

    Reducing India's import dependency in this regard is a key priority.

  • An expert group set up by NIti Aayog will develop a technical road map for adoption of the 'Methanol Economy'; this will include exploration of techno-commercial aspects to facilitate and enhance production through natural gas, bio, agricultural and municipal solid waste.
