Cairn continues to lead with ambition, purpose and a clear vision to meet 50% of India’s domestic crude oil demand. In line with this national commitment, we are proud to unveil our Business Plan for FY26, a forward-looking blueprint that strengthens our foundation for sustainable growth and long-term value creation.
This year’s roadmap is not merely about targets; it is about driving meaningful transformation. Designed to accelerate progress across production, efficiency and exploration, the FY26 plan is anchored in operational excellence and financial discipline. It charts a focused strategy to generate free cash flow, unlocking the full potential of our resource base and continue building a future-ready energy ecosystem for India.
As we step into FY26, we do so with renewed purpose and momentum. This is more than a plan, it’s a commitment to bold, achievable targets that reflect both our ambition and responsibility in shaping India’s energy landscape. Our unwavering focus on safe, reliable operations underpins every goal including an ambitious reserves and resources target of 1.6 billion boe and a production goal of 105 kboepd to maintain strong momentum. With a committed capital expenditure of $663 million and optimised operational efficiency at $15.2/boe, we aim to deliver high performance across the board. Key milestones include the drilling of 120 wells and the execution of 8 high-potential exploration wells targeting approximately 100 mmboe.
To realise these ambitions, we are sharpening our efforts across four critical areas. First, through effective decline management, we are addressing production drops and unlocking new infill volumes. Second, our project execution is being strengthened through an EPCM-led model, ensuring speed and precision. Third, we are pursuing high-impact exploration with the potential to transform our portfolio. Lastly, we are fast-tracking development projects to build a robust pipeline for long-term growth.
FY26 is not just another year, it is a defining chapter in our journey towards energy security. With an agile approach and steadfast focus, we are not only powering progress today but also laying the groundwork for a self-reliant tomorrow.
