‘Huge potential to explore oil, gas in offshore UT areas’
Hindustan Times East UP
|July 30, 2025
{ GOVT TELLS PARL } IN ANDAMANS AND NICOBAR
India has significantly expanded its oil and gas exploration efforts, particularly offshore, with nearly 1 million square kilometers of previously restricted ‘No-Go' areas opened for exploration in 2022. This move has unlocked vast new opportunities in deepwater and frontier regions, including the Andaman-Nicobar offshore basin, the ministry of petroleum and natural gas informed the Rajya Sabha on Monday.
Hardeep Singh Puri, minister of petroleum and natural gas said the bold policy move to open ‘No-Go’ areas has facilitated unprecedented access for exploration and is a key enabler of the recent momentum in offshore activity. He was responding to questions by John Brittas, CPIM MP on 1. details of the recent claims regarding significant offshore oil and gas discoveries in the country, including near the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, specifying the location and estimated reserve found; 2. whether these claims have been independently verified; and 3. timeline and plan for their commercial exploitation to reduce country’s import dependence while ensuring environmental safeguards?

MF Husain: Man and myth, art and artist
M F Husain is undoubtedly India's best known and perhaps most highly regarded modern artist. As an editorial in this newspaper put it last week, he is \"arguably the most inventive artist of Indian modernism\". This is why it's not just sad but upsetting that an MF Husain museum will open next month in Doha and not in the country of his birth.

Where is everyone?
We've been searching for decades, but haven't found so much as a microbe in space yet. Could it be that we're early; that life simply has not evolved yet in the neighbourhood? Are we doing it all wrong? Is there a bustling universe of sentient beings out there, waiting for us to catch on? Humans are now beginning to build technology that could make the difference in our quest for alien life. We have a growing understanding of what to look for. We're getting better at sending probes to nearby planets, which could tell us more about where and how to search. What might we find? Why does it matter? Take a look
