Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has commenced natural gas sales from the Discovered Small Field (DSF-II) Block RJ/ONDSF/Chinnewala/2018, marking the successful monetisation of Chinnewala Tibba gas in the Rajasthan Kutch Onland Exploratory Asset (RKOEA) on August 25, 2025. This significant step reinforces ONGC’s commitment to enhancing domestic energy production and strengthening India’s energy security under the guidance of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas (MoP&NG). 

Located in Western Rajasthan, close to the Indo-Pak international border, the Chinnewala Tibba block covers an area of 73 sq. km and holds promising gas reserves. ONGC has commenced sales of 1.0 lakh standard cubic meters of gas per day (LSCMD), thereby contributing to the region’s growing energy requirements. 

Further, gas evacuation to Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam (RRVUNL), Ramgarh, began on August 25, 2025, through ONGC’s Gamnewala Gas Collection Station (GCS). This accomplishment was enabled by the close collaboration between ONGC, Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), GAIL, Oil India (OIL), and RRVUNL, ensuring smooth integration of gas supplies into the regional power grid. 

ONGC is India’s largest government-run corporation and produces about 70% of India’s crude oil and natural gas. The corporation is the biggest public sector commercial organization in India.
