CONSERVATION OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
1. Oil and gas conservation means their better and more efficient use with regard to economic,
social or environmental costs and benefits, resulting in attainment of higher energy use
efficiencies, minimization of wasteful practices and wastage and protection of the environment.
2. Despite discovery of new sources of unconventional energy and due to existing
inadequacies in supply of other forms of commercial energy relative to demand, petroleum
remains the primary energy source in India and a preferred swing fuel.
3. Out of the known Indian reserves of 760 MMT of Crude Oil and 1.3 Trillion Cubic Meters of
Natural Gas, only a part may be technically and economically feasible to exploit. This fact,
coupled with the present and expected consumption rates implies that these reserves may not
last long. Our present indigenous production is only 37.9 MMT and is less than 25% of our
annual requirement. Therefore, the Government attaches high priority to minimizing the gaps
between indigenous production and consumption of petroleum products. The need of the hour
is to conserve petroleum by its judicious use, substituting it by other resources wherever
feasible and restricting its use only to the essential needs.
4. Various steps are being taken to promote conservation of petroleum products in the
following areas. The following specific activities are taken up from time to time
