Lease Aggregation और Multi-Stage Licensing Process Fragmentation
Definition
The 2025 PNG Rules replace the multi-license framework with a single petroleum lease covering exploration, development, production, and related activities (including renewable energy projects). Additionally, lease periods extended from 10-20 years to up to 30 years with extensions tied to field economic life, reducing renewal cycle costs and improving long-term project visibility.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹20-50 crore annual licensing administration cost (multi-stage filings, inter-departmental coordination, transition documentation); ₹5-10 crore annual savings from consolidated single-lease framework
- Frequency: Recurring (per lease cycle and annual compliance)
- Root Cause: Fragmented regulatory framework in 1959 PNG Rules; separate licenses for each development stage; manual inter-agency coordination; no integrated lease model; short lease tenures requiring frequent renewal
