Theme: Coastal Guardians: Future-Proofing India's Waters in an Era of Emerging Risks
4th Floor, Plot No-33, Janki House, Sector-12 A, Dwarka, New Delhi-110075 India
Welcome to the 8th edition of Oil Spill India (OSI), set against the vibrant backdrop of New Delhi during 6th - 7th October 2026. Since its inception in 2011, OSI—with foundational leadership from the Indian Coast Guard and ONGC Limited—has evolved into one of the world’s leading forums dedicated to Spill Prevention, Planning, Preparedness, Response, and Restoration.
Over the past 15 years and seven editions, this conference has emerged as a truly global platform, convening government bodies, industry pioneers, maritime authorities, researchers, and NGOs to collectively address the complex challenges of oil spill management. OSI 2026 will build upon this legacy, embracing a future-focused theme: “Coastal Guardians: Future-Proofing India’s Waters in an Era of Emerging Risks.” As India’s maritime commerce expands and our offshore activities intensify, our coastal ecosystems—spanning the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and regional waterways—face looming threats from climate-driven extreme weather and deeper offshore operations.
