Hardeep Singh Puri, the new Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas in India, highlighted the country's achievements under PM Modi's leadership in the energy sector. India successfully managed the energy trilemma of availability, affordability, and sustainability while other nations faced challenges like energy rationing and high fuel prices. The Minister emphasized the growth in LPG connections, reaching 32 crores with the Ujjwala scheme. He also discussed plans to increase oil and gas production, inviting international technology partners for collaboration. The government is dedicated to achieving the 20% ethanol blending target by 2025, with progress already at 15% in May. Minister Puri also emphasized the integration of green hydrogen in the refining process, with upcoming plants in Panipat, Mathura, and Paradeep. The commissioning of the first green hydrogen plant and plans for more, including a green hydrogen station in Kochi, demonstrate India's commitment to renewable energy and sustainability.
