Oil and Natural Gas Corp. Ltd (ONGC) plans to spend INR 1 trillion ($12 billion) on green initiatives by 2030 as it targets net zero (Scope-1 and Scope-2) emissions by 2038. The company has revealed an ambitious plan to achieve an installed renewable energy (RE) capacity of 10 GW by 2030 and 1 million tonnes per annum capacity of green ammonia production. Additionally, it aims to source 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030.
