ONGC signs joint venture agreements with MOL, Japan

06 Jan 2026 Evaluate

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) has signed Joint Venture Agreements and Capital Contribution Agreements with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), Japan, to subscribe equity shares in two joint venture entities, namely Bharat Ethane One IFSC and Bharat Ethane Two IFSC, registered in Gift City, Gandhinagar. 

The company shall subscribe to 2,00,000 equity shares, of Rs 100 per share, in each of the joint venture companies. Upon completion of the equity subscription, the company shall hold a 50% equity stake in each of the joint venture entities, with the remaining 50% held by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Japan. Each joint venture company shall own and operate one Very Large Ethane Carrier (VLEC). The VLECs shall operate under the Indian flag and shall be deployed for the transportation of ethane from the United States of America to meet the feedstock requirements of ONGC Petro additions Limited (OPaL), a subsidiary of ONGC.

This strategic collaboration constitutes a significant milestone in strengthening long-term cooperation between ONGC and MOL. By leveraging MOL’s global maritime expertise alongside ONGC’s strong regional presence and operational capabilities, the partnership is expected to create substantial value across the energy transportation and value chain. The initiative also marks ONGC’s strategic entry into business diversification and growth. Through the deployment of VLECs for ethane transportation, ONGC aims to capitalise on emerging opportunities in energy logistics, strengthen integration across its value chain, and establish a robust operational presence in specialised shipping.

ONGC is India’s largest government-run corporation and produces about 70% of India’s crude oil and natural gas. The corporation is the biggest public sector commercial organization in India.
