Stars
KG-DWN-98/2 Deepwater Project
This flagship KG-DWN-98/2 Deepwater Project in the Krishna Godavari basin is ONGC's primary growth engine, targeting peak production of 45,000 barrels per day by end-2025 and reversing a decade-long output decline.
As a Star it commands a leading share in India’s deepwater segment, boosts national energy security, and is driving FY2025 capex—about ₹18 billion—toward solving technical issues such as waxy crude handling.
Integrated Petrochemical Segment
The synergy between OPaL (ONGC Petro additions Limited) and MRPL (Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited) gave ONGC a dominant spot in India’s petrochemicals, a market growing ~15% annually; ONGC’s specialized polymer share is about 20% after investing >18,000 crore INR into OPaL equity and capacity (2024–25 funding).
Aggressive Exploration and New Discoveries
With the highest drilling activity in 35 years, ONGC drilled over 100 exploratory wells in FY25 and secured acreage in Andaman and Mahanadi basins, targeting high-potential plays.
Nine early-stage discoveries from FY25 carry large market upside but need roughly $1.2–1.5 billion capex to shift each from exploration to first oil, plus multi-year development timelines.
Successful monetization of these nine finds would make them Stars in the BCG matrix—fast-growing revenue contributors that can later stabilize as production leaders and lift ONGC’s upstream output by an estimated 8–12% by 2029.
ONGC Green Energy Limited (OGL)
Formed in 2020 as ONGC’s dedicated renewables arm, ONGC Green Energy Limited (OGL) targets 10 GW by 2030, using acquisitions like Ayana Renewable Power (acquired 2023) to scale rapidly; management plans ~5 GW of commissioned capacity by 2025 and 10 GW by 2030.
OGL currently adds a small share of ONGC group revenue but posts ~25% CAGR in segment revenues (2021–2024) and received Rs 8.5 billion capex allocation in FY2024 for project buildout.
OGL benefits from ONGC’s dominant upstream cashflows, 100,000+ hectares of contiguous land and grid access, making it a Star in the BCG matrix that needs heavy, front-loaded investment to secure market leadership in India’s expanding 450 GW-plus renewables target by 2030.
- Target: 10 GW by 2030; ~5 GW by 2025
- Revenue CAGR: ~25% (2021–2024)
- FY2024 capex: Rs 8.5 billion
- Strategic assets: Ayana buy (2023), 100,000+ ha land
Natural Gas Production Expansion
ONGC aims for a 25% rise in gas output by 2026, led by Daman Upside and Integrated Development of Small Fields, which together target ~10–12 mmscmd incremental capacity and higher cash margins under the New Well Gas (NWG) pricing versus legacy regulated gas.
Strong domestic gas demand—natural gas share in India’s primary energy rose to 8.2% in 2024—and NWG premiums (often $0.5–$1.0/MMBtu over regulated) make gas a high-growth, high-market-share capital priority for ONGC.
- 25% gas growth target by 2026
- 10–12 mmscmd incremental from new projects
- NWG premiums ~$0.5–$1.0/MMBtu
- Gas share 8.2% of India energy (2024)
ONGC push: KG‑DWN‑98/2, OGL renewables & gas to power growth—FY25 capex ₹26.5bn+
KG-DWN-98/2, OGL renewables, and gas growth are ONGC Stars—driving FY25 capex ~₹18bn+₹8.5bn, 45kbd peak oil (end‑2025), OGL target 10GW by 2030 (≈5GW by 2025), gas +25% by 2026 (~10–12 mmscmd), nine discoveries needing $1.2–1.5bn each to first oil.
| Asset | Key metric | Capex/need |
|---|---|---|
| KG‑DWN‑98/2 | 45kbd (end‑2025) | ₹18bn FY25 |
| OGL | 10GW by 2030 | ₹8.5bn FY24 |

Cash Cows
Mumbai High Offshore Legacy Assets
The Mumbai High offshore legacy asset remains ONGC’s cash cow, accounting for nearly 40% of ONGC’s total crude output in 2025 and about 60% of its offshore production, per company disclosures through Dec 2025.
As a mature field with fully depreciated infrastructure, Mumbai High delivers exceptional free cash flow and an ROI above 22% in 2025, despite low market growth in the basin.
ONGC actively milks the asset via enhanced oil recovery (EOR)—waterflooding, polymer injection and infill drilling—allocating roughly 15–20% of 2025 capex to sustain rates and fund its renewables transition.
Domestic Gas Sales (APM)
ONGC holds about 65% of India’s regulated domestic gas market under the Administrative Price Mechanism (APM), supplying fertilizers and power; APM floor price set at 6.50 USD/MMBtu supports roughly 22% gross margins.
Legacy APM fields need minimal capex, freeing cash to service corporate debt and fund steady dividends; in FY2024 ONGC’s upstream cash flow covered ~1.4x of interest and enabled a dividend payout yielding ~3.2%.
ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL) Overseas Production
ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL) manages mature assets across 15 countries, giving ONGC a diversified, stable revenue stream that buffers Indian production risks.
In FY25 OVL’s crude output rose 1.2% to just over 7.0 million metric tonnes, supporting steady cash generation and a FY25 EBITDA margin near historic highs.
These established overseas operations need low incremental capex yet free up cash to fund new exploration and critical-minerals deals.
Onshore Nomination Blocks
Onshore Nomination Blocks in Gujarat and Assam supply about 25% of ONGC’s crude, holding roughly 70% relative market share in their basins and generating steady free cash flow; FY2024 EBITDA margins around 30% keep unit costs low and cash positive.
These mature blocks need minor, low-cost interventions—workovers and infill drilling—keeping sustaining CAPEX under 10% of total upstream capex, so they fund high-risk deepwater and green hydrogen bets without external financing.
- 25% of company crude from onshore legacy blocks
- ~70% relative basin market share (Gujarat, Assam)
- ~30% EBITDA margins (FY2024)
- Sustaining CAPEX <10% of upstream spend
- Reliable cash to fund deepwater and green H2 projects
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL)
Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), ONGC’s major downstream arm, uses its ~14,000 retail outlets and 11.3 MMTPA refining capacity (2024) to produce steady cash in India’s mature fuel market.
Refining margins vary, but HPCL’s ~22% national market share in fuel distribution (2024) keeps it a reliable cash generator for ONGC.
Dividends and FY2024 cash surplus—HPCL reported ₹11,200 crore operating cash flow—feed ONGC’s consolidated balance sheet and fund capex.
- Retail network: ~14,000 outlets
- Refining: 11.3 MMTPA (2024)
- Market share: ~22% (2024)
- OCF FY2024: ₹11,200 crore
ONGC cash engines: Mumbai High, onshore & OVL drive strong margins, OCF funds capex
Mumbai High, onshore nomination blocks and OVL are ONGC’s cash cows, supplying ~40% of crude (2025), ~25% from onshore, and OVL ~7.0 Mt (FY25); FY2024 EBITDA margins: Mumbai High ~22% ROI, onshore ~30%, HPCL refining margins support consolidated cash; sustaining CAPEX <10% upstream; dividends and OCF fund capex and debt service.
| Asset | 2024–25 key | Margin/ROI |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai High | ~40% crude (2025) | ROI ~22% |
| Onshore blocks | ~25% crude | EBITDA ~30% |
| OVL | 7.0 Mt (FY25) | Stable EBITDA |
| HPCL | 14,000 outlets; 11.3 MMTPA | OCF ₹11,200cr (FY24) |
