Hardeep Puri details India's plan for energy freedom

Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri announced India's achievement of unprecedented energy production levels during a recent industry gathering. The nation has expanded its import partnerships from 27 countries to 40 countries to secure diverse energy supplies. India's economic growth rate reaches approximately 6.5 percent while energy consumption accelerates six times beyond the global average. International forecasts predict India will represent 25 percent of worldwide energy demand growth within the next twenty years. The government pursues energy independence through enhanced domestic production initiatives.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads the country's comprehensive energy security campaign across multiple sectors. Authorities allocated 862,000 tonnes of annual green hydrogen production capacity among 19 companies. Fifteen firms received 3,000 MW of electrolyser manufacturing capacity awards from federal agencies. India operates 223 GW of renewable energy infrastructure, with 108 GW from solar sources and 51 GW from wind power. The administration targets 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, while natural gas usage will increase from 6 percent to 15 percent.
