ONGC’s total crude production dropped by 2.1 per cent to 5.249 million metric tonnes (MMT) from 5.360 MMT in Q2 FY23. Further, ONGC’s natural gas production declined by 2.8 per cent to 5.2 billion cubic meters (BCM) in the latest quarter from 5.352 BCM during the same period last year.

activities within these fields.
