Introduction

As India continues to grow and its economy expands, there is an increased need and demand for energy production in the country, energy that will be fueled by oil and gas. However, this demand is balanced by India’s commitments to sustainability, particularly in light of the Paris Agreement. 

India’s downstream oil and gas sector is undergoing a significant transformation, largely influenced by these global sustainability mandates and the increasing importance of corporate responsibility. To gain a deeper understanding of these shifts, we conducted a focused survey among industry professionals, specifically within the downstream segment. Our aim was to uncover current sustainability practices, explore how they are being implemented, and identify emerging trends that are shaping the future of refinery operations.
