ONGC Seeks Shareholder Approval for Mozambique Project Transactions Worth $5.5 Billion
ONGC is seeking shareholder approval via postal ballot for two material related party transactions concerning the Mozambique Area-1 Offshore Project. The transactions include an AssetCo structure valued at USD 2,440 million and a Debt Service Undertaking up to USD 3,072 million. Remote e-voting will be open from June 4 to July 3, 2026.
The transactions involve substantial financial commitments and are crucial for the development and financing of a major overseas project. Shareholder approval is a necessary step, and the outcome will have a direct impact on ONGC's ability to proceed with the project's financial arrangements and strategic restructuring.
The announcement is a routine procedural step for seeking shareholder approval for material related party transactions, which are part of a larger project financing and restructuring effort. While the transactions are significant in value, they do not inherently indicate a positive or negative change in the company's immediate financial performance or outlook.
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC) has issued a Postal Ballot Notice to its members seeking approval for two material related party transactions concerning the Area-1 Offshore Mozambique Project. These transactions are crucial for restructuring the project's commercial framework and facilitating financing.
The first special business item involves the approval of material related party transactions for the Area-1 Offshore Mozambique Project - AssetCo Structure. This includes the transfer of Golfinho-Atum project-related assets to Moz LNG1 AssetCo, Limitada, and subsequent equity-for-equity transactions with Moz LNG1 HoldCo, Limitada. The estimated value of this transaction is approximately USD 2,440 million (₹231,800 crore).
The second special business item pertains to the approval of material related party transactions for the Area-1 Offshore Mozambique Project - Debt Service Undertaking. This involves extending the existing guarantee support in the form of a Debt Service Undertaking (DSU) to senior creditors, principally to guarantee repayment of the proportionate share of senior debt obligations up to 2033. The value for this undertaking is not exceeding USD 3,072 million (₹291,840 crore).
The remote e-voting period for these resolutions will commence on Thursday, June 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM (IST) and will conclude on Friday, July 3, 2026, at 05:00 PM (IST). The notice is available on ONGC's website and the NSDL e-voting portal.
These transactions are considered material as per SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, and require shareholder approval. The revised structure aims to align with customary international project financing structures, offering benefits such as appropriate accounting treatment, regulatory/debt management advantages, and increased flexibility for future project development.
