India imports oil & Gas worth Rs 300,000/- to Rs. 500,000 crore each year. India has huge oil & gas reserves which can easily meet India's total energy requirements. Satellite photos have clearly shown that this is a fact.

Ambani recently discovered huge oil off the coast in Godavri-Krishna basin. They are planning to produce oil worth Rs.100,000 crore each year.

Now only if India tackles Oil Independence goal on war footing within next 5 years India can become 100% self sufficient in Oil Production.

Action plain on how to become 100% self sufficient in Oil Production

Ambanis will likely produce Oil worth Rs.1,00,000 crore each year, if we have 10 such projects then India can easily produce oil and gas worth of Rs. 4,00,000 crore.

1. For this purpose, Govt. should immediately allocate 50 more blocks to top 10 international companies on production sharing basis.

2. Govt. should utilize part of its foreign exchange reserve & invest needed 50% to 80% capital needed by Indian companies.

3. All type of clearance for these projects should be given in one window within 30 days.

4. As this project is of top most national importance no legal on other hurdles should be allowed to came in a way. Therefore a new law should be passed to exempt these companies from unnecessary legal hurdles.

5. The best way will be to let Govt. make 100 companies and get all the approvals needed for drilling and off shore drilling in these new companies and sell these companies to the highest indian bidder with 50% Govt. shares. So the buyers can immediately start their work.

6. The Govt. should help open factories in India to make deep water platforms & Drilling Rigs. Govt. can give 90% loans to the interested companies. They can also be produced in foreign joint ventures.

7. As far as Govt. companies record is concerned, it is very bad because,

O.N.G.C announced 30 years ago that with Bombay high production & other new production India will reach 100% self sufficiency within 10 year, at that time India was importing 40-50% of its need. Now India is importing 70-80% of its need even now after 30 years. So we should learn a lesson here.

8. This whole project should be 100% Tax free as Govt. will also be share holder of 50% in all these new companies. Govt. will get 4 times more income (as its share of oil) compared to income from taxes.

9. A symposium of top international experts in this field should be organized along with Indian Industries to give boost to this plan. All expenses should be paid by this new Govt. body including 1st class Air Travel.

10. State of art fire fighting equipment & technology should be acquired and given to Indian companies.

11.We will need 10,000 new Engineers to work in energy field. Therefore 4 new oil & gas International standard Universities should be opened in public private partnership Govt. should provide 80% subsidy to these universities. Rs. 500 crores should be invested on each university by the Govt.

12. Immediately a team of 1000 top engineers should be sent to Europe & America to learn latest techniques & practical training every year in the field of Oil and Gas.

13. 1000 people should be given 100% scholarship to do Ph.D. in oil & gas.

14. 90% of India should be immediately covered with pipelines for oil & gas. For this purpose, Govt. should give incentives & needed clearance to private sector.

15. A complete new satellite mapping of Indian coastal areas as well as land area should be done with emphasis on finding oil & gas reserves.

16. At present India is basically investing its vast foreign exchange reserves with US Treasury bonds which are giving a average return of 2% to 3% a year, instead a large part of this fund should be invested in making India self sufficient in Oil and Gas. This foreign exchange reserve belongs to the citizens of India, therefore, it should be used for making India self sufficient in Oil and Gas. Otherwise, if the value of the dollar goes down by 80%-90%, as many economists predict, then the most of our hard earned foreign exchange will evaporate.

17. Best possible satellite images should be purchased from 5 major satellite companies & provided to Indian companies free of cost.

18. 100 top M.B.A (Indian as well as foreigner) should be recruited for successful implementation of this project.

19. Crude oil & Petrol-diesel should be totally banned for export from India(except Nepal. etc). Until India achieve 120% self sufficiency balance 20% will be used for making end products like plastics etc in India and then exported.

1. Invest $ 60 Billion in 10 top Indian companies in next 2-3 years for producing oil.

2. Invest $ 10 BillionManufacturing units for deep sea oil platform & oil rigs & fire fitting equipments.

3. Invest $ 2 Billion in setting up of 4 State of Art large Universities for oil & gas only.

4. Invest$ 10 Billion in connecting whole of India with oil & gas pipelines.

5. Invest $ 3 Billion in setting up of State of Art new invention center for energy in each of 28 Indian states.

6. Invest $ 200 Million in setting up of T.V & F.M radio channels in

1. Energy
2. New Inventions

7. Please open one innovation and new invention as well as researches in 50 alternate energy technologies in each of the 28 state capitals.

Budget: 4.6 Billion

8. Invest $ 200 Million in making this total project complete totally transparent and centrally monitored with the help of S.A.P program and G.P.S which can identify each facility & each worker with Photo I.D. This project should have verifiable targets and implementable timeline.

Others: $ 10 Billion.

Therefore, Total Investment for this project will be $100 Billion.

India can easily get 50% to 100% yearly return on this investment, and can help create millions of much needed new jobs. For national security, it is very important that we are 100% self sufficient in energy. Therefore Govt. should whole-heartedly encourage and promote this program on war footing.

I am ready to give my full co-operation in this project of top national importance free of charge.

Thank you,

Yours Sincerely
