NEW DELHI, SEP 17, 2026: MANOHAR Lal, Union Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs, participated in the G20 Energy Abundance Working Group meetings in Houston on 15 September 2026. He delivered interventions under Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 and held bilateral discussions with senior leaders from the United States and Canada on strengthening energy cooperation.

Pillar 1: Energy Security and Affordable Baseload

The Minister highlighted India's rapid progress in building a secure and resilient energy system, noting achievements such as 552 GW installed capacity, a non-fossil share exceeding 50%, and major advances in solar, storage, nuclear, and clean cooking access. He emphasised India's commitment to technology neutral, inclusive energy pathways and global cooperation through ISA, OSOWOG, and the Global Biofuels Alliance.

Pillar 2: Permitting and Regulatory Efficiency

Manohar Lal outlined India's reforms to streamline approvals and strengthen regulatory predictability through digital platforms including the National Single Window System, PARIVESH, and PM Gati Shakti. He stressed that efficient permitting is essential for timely infrastructure development and called for enhanced G20 collaboration in capacity building and regulatory modernisation.

Bilateral Meeting with the United States

The Union Minister met Chris Wright, Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy, and discussed India's power infrastructure plans for AI, high-performance computing, and data centres, along with India's nuclear expansion roadmap. Both sides reaffirmed priorities for collaboration under the U.S.-India Energy Security Partnership, focusing on clean energy, resilient infrastructure, and emerging technologies.

Bilateral Meeting with Canada

Manohar Lal also met Corey Hogan, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Canada, to explore cooperation in energy efficiency, low emission technologies, and offshore exploration under Samundra Manthan scheme. The Minister encouraged Canadian companies to participate in India's expanding Exploration & Production sector and deepen engagement in emerging energy technologies.

The Union Minister reaffirmed India's unwavering commitment to strengthening national energy security through diversification of energy sources, expansion of clean and reliable baseload capacity, and accelerated adoption of emerging technologies. He emphasised that India will continue to pursue a balanced, future ready energy strategy while deepening international partnerships to ensure secure, sustainable, and affordable energy for its citizens and contribute meaningfully to global energy stability.
