Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has announced the start of natural gas sales from the Chinnewala Tibba block (RJ/ONDSF/Chinnewala/2018), marking a significant step in monetising resources under the Discovered Small Field (DSF-II) framework. The operations commenced on August 25, 2025, at the Rajasthan Kutch Onland Exploratory Asset (RKOEA).
Located in Western Rajasthan near the Indo-Pak border, the Chinnewala Tibba block spans 73 sq. km and holds promising reserves. ONGC has begun sales of 1.0 lakh standard cubic meters of gas per day (LSCMD), contributing to growing energy needs in the region and reinforcing India’s focus on domestic production.
Gas evacuation has started to Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL), Ramgarh, via ONGC’s Gamnewala Gas Collection Station (GCS).
This seamless integration was made possible through the collaboration of ONGC with the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), GAIL, Oil India Limited (OIL), and RRVUNL.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by ONGC Director (Strategy & Corporate Affairs) Shri Arunangshu Sarkar and Director (Exploration) Shri Om Prakash Sinha, along with senior dignitaries.
Speaking at the event, ONGC officials emphasised that the monetisation of Chinnewala Tibba reflects the company’s focus on efficient resource utilisation and value creation, in line with the government’s broader vision of strengthening national energy security.

With its commitment to collaboration and innovation, ONGC continues to play a pivotal role in supporting the Government of India’s long-term energy goals.
