The resolve of India and the U.S. to transition to “green, clean and sustainable energy” would not be diminished by the turbulence in energy markets, India’s Petroleum and Natural Gas minister Hardeep Singh Puri has said.
The minister’s comments were made on Friday, during a press briefing in Washington DC, on the second day of his visit to the American capital, against a backdrop of oil cartel Opec Plus’s announcement of supply cuts and Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
Earlier on Friday, Mr. Puri held discussions with his counterpart, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. This was followed by joint talks under the aegis of the U.S.- India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership (USISCEP), on power and energy efficiency, renewable energy, responsible oil and gas, sustainable growth and emerging fuels and technologies.
