Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs Shri Manohar Lal will be visiting Houston, United States of America from September 14–16 for the G20 Energy Ministerial Meeting. The meeting, hosted under the U.S. G20 Presidency, will bring together Energy Ministers and senior representatives from G20 members to deliberate on key issues concerning global energy security, affordability, infrastructure development and resilient energy supply chains.
Khattar is going to emphasise upon three main issues, Energy Security and Affordable Baseload, Permitting and Regulatory Efficiency, and Critical Minerals & Resilient Supply Chains. The discussions will focus on strengthening energy security and affordability, facilitating timely development of energy infrastructure through efficient regulatory frameworks, and building secure, resilient and diversified critical-mineral supply chains.
During the meeting, Manohar Lal will seek to highlight India’s approach towards building a resilient and future-ready energy system capable of meeting its rapidly growing energy needs while sharing India’s experience in enhancing permitting and regulatory efficiency through institutional and policy reforms as well as highlighting India’s focus on diversification, circularity, and strengthening the entire value chain of critical minerals.
The Minister’s participation will reaffirm India’s commitment to constructive international engagement and collective action in addressing evolving global energy challenges. India will continue to advocate pragmatic, inclusive and technology-neutral approaches that respect diverse national circumstances and advance secure, affordable, reliable, resilient and sustainable energy systems for all.
