New Indian Scheme to Find More Oil and Gas
India is starting a big new plan called Samudra Manthan to search for oil and gas deep under the sea.
What is Samudra Manthan
The Indian government has launched a new project named Samudra Manthan to find oil and gas deep under the ocean floor. The name means churning the ocean in ancient stories. The country will spend a huge amount of money, about eighty-four thousand crore rupees, on this important mission.
Main goals of the plan
- Find hidden oil and gas reserves deep under the sea.
- Make India safer when it comes to energy supplies.
- Rely less on buying oil and gas from other countries.
- Use modern ships and machines to explore deep waters.
Why it matters
India needs a lot of energy to run factories, cars, and homes every single day. Right now, the country buys most of its oil from other nations, which costs a lot of money. By finding more oil and gas inside our own sea areas, India can become stronger and more independent.
What happens next
Special ships and expert teams will start searching the deep ocean floors using advanced technology. The government will work with big companies to dig wells and check how much oil and gas is hidden down there.
