During the India Energy Week meet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India's efforts to harness its hydrocarbon resources effectively. The country is targeting a 20% increase in refining capacity and aims to raise the share of natural gas in its energy mix to 15% by 2030, up from the current 6%. Modi emphasized the growth in the gas sector due to major discoveries and expanding infrastructure, leading to increased natural gas supply. Significant investments in renewables, including $96 billion in hydrogen projects, showcase India's commitment to sustainable energy. The nation's ambitious energy goals include adding 500 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity, achieving net zero carbon emissions for Indian Railways, and producing five million metric tons of green hydrogen annually. India has made remarkable progress in solar energy, becoming the third-largest solar power generator globally and tripling its non-fossil fuel energy capacity. The country also aims to increase ethanol blending to 20% by 2025, promoting energy security and environmental benefits. Modi highlighted the vast potential of India's sedimentary basins for hydrocarbon resources and the reforms introduced to enhance exploration and production, such as the Open Acreage Licensing Policy. The government's support measures, like the Exclusive Economic Zone opening and policy stability improvements, are expected to drive further growth in the oil and gas sector, ensuring energy security and strategic reserves.
