NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH) has launched a single window clearance system that connects upstream companies to different arms of the government, allows electronic filing of most applications, and sharply cuts time taken in obtaining numerous clearances.
Oil and gas producers lose a significant amount of time and energy on obtaining countless permits from central and state governments for a range of things from mining lease to field development plan, budget, essentiality certificate, environment and vessel movements on sea. Slow grant of permits squeezes time available to companies for actual work on the ground, delaying the project on many occasions.
