Recognition for exemplary leadership in advancing fire safety excellence across India’s energy sector
At the Bharat Fire & Safety Congress 2025, Pankaj Kumar, Director (Production), Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), was conferred with the prestigious “Bharat Fire Safety Leader of the Year – Oil & Gas (Upstream)” award. The honour celebrates his outstanding leadership and commitment to promoting fire safety excellence within India’s oil and gas industry.
Themed “Building Resilience: Fire Safety Strategies for a Changing Nation”, the Bharat Fire & Safety Congress 2025 brought together leading experts, policymakers, and industry professionals to discuss innovations and best practices in fire prevention and emergency response.
The recognition underscores a vital principle — fire safety is not merely about response but about resilience. As India advances toward Vision 2047, strengthening fire services remains crucial to ensuring that progress and protection go hand in hand.
Fire services are the backbone of industrial safety, protecting lives, infrastructure, and assets, and ensuring that India’s growth continues safely, sustainably, and resiliently.
