Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), India’s energy major, has once again reaffirmed its leadership in social responsibility. On 29 August 2025, President of India Smt. Droupadi Murmu conferred ONGC with the prestigious PSUSCOPE Eminence Award 2022-23 in the category of Corporate Social Responsibility & Responsiveness.
