Question

The Government of India recently signed a tripartite MoU for joint exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas along a disputed interstate border involving which two states?

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: Assam and Nagaland. On 11 June 2026, India, Assam and Nagaland signed a tripartite MoU for joint exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas. The agreement covers six disputed hydrocarbon fields and a border area exceeding 1,000 square kilometres along the Assam–Nagaland border. The MoU establishes a 50:50 revenue-sharing arrangement between Assam and Nagaland for oil and gas production. The agreement was signed in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri. Crude oil and natural gas are hydrocarbons that occur primarily in sedimentary basins. The Assam–Nagaland border region remained underutilised for petroleum activities due to long-standing territorial and jurisdictional disputes. Digboi (Assam) is historically associated with some of the earliest petroleum production activities in India.
