The round will see a focus on no-go areas and offshore hydrocarbon blocks.

Moreover, the contracts for the upcoming 10th round are expected to be signed as per the reforms mentioned in the Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Amendment Bill. The Bill had proposed to broaden the definition of mineral oils, which previously included only petroleum and natural gas, and introduced the concept of a petroleum lease. This lease covers various activities related to mineral oils, including exploration, prospecting, production, making them merchantable, and disposal.
