Key initiatives include remaining new wells at Bakrol coming online by H1 FY27, seven new wells under the new Field Development Plan at Karjisan with drilling commencing end FY27, and one new well planned for Cambay in H2 FY27. At Duarmara in Assam, re-perforation is planned to establish commercial oil flow rates, while Dangeru in Andhra Pradesh will focus on frac-led production ramp and evacuation de-bottlenecking. The company has no long-term borrowings as on March 31, 2026, underscoring the self-funded nature of its growth plans.
