There is a need to speed up the development of oil and gas projects by granting speedier clearances, according to the Director General at the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), V P Joy.
Speaking at the CII North East Oil & Gas Conclave 2019, Joy said, “Today, getting forest clearances is a very time consuming thing. It would require a lot of time to fulfil all the formalities. So these kind of things have a potential to delay the projects and it will cut the viability of any project.”
Joy said that fast tracking projects, clearances and ensuring ground support for all projects in the North East needs to be deliberated.
