Vedanta gets 10-year extension of licence for prolific Rajasthan oil block

28 Oct 2022 Evaluate

Vedanta has received a 10-year extension of the licence for its prolific Rajasthan oil block till May 14, 2030. The initial licence to explore and produce oil and gas from the Barmer block expired on May 14, 2020.

The government had agreed to a 10-year extension but it wanted a higher share of oil and gas from the block as well as settlement of Rs 5,651 crore dispute over cost recovery for the same. Vedanta did not agree to either of the demands and challenged them in court. Against this backdrop, the company was given monthly or bi-monthly extensions, and the latest one is due to expire on October 31, 2022.

Now, the government has agreed to sign the extension of the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) pending the settlement of the dispute.

Vedanta is a diversified natural resources company, whose business primarily involves producing oil and gas, zinc- lead-silver, copper, iron ore, aluminium and commercial power.
