Speaking at the session \u201cResilient Infrastructure for Growth\u201d, the Union Minister highlighted India\u2019s experience of combining scale with system resilience, noting that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the country has achieved 267 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity as of December 2025 and is firmly on track to meet its 2030 targets. This is backed by robust policies, strong domestic manufacturing, grid modernisation, energy storage solutions and emerging frameworks for geothermal and nuclear energy. He emphasised the need for patient capital, blended finance and deeper collaboration among governments, the private sector and multilateral development banks to enable a sustainable and inclusive global energy transition<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sustainability at the Core of Economic Growth<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi also delivered the keynote address at the roundtable \u201cDelivering Sustainability at Scale: Pathways for Global Transformation\u201d in Davos, sharing India\u2019s perspective on how sustainability has moved to the core of economic growth and development. Shri Joshi underlined that sustainability is no longer a peripheral concern but a central driver of competitiveness, resilience and long-term growth. He emphasised that the defining challenge of this decade is not whether the world should transition, but how sustainability can be delivered at scale, at speed and in an economically strengthening manner.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

India\u2019s Energy Transition Philosophy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Union Minister reiterated India\u2019s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, stressing that the country\u2019s approach is guided by the principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam \u2014 One Earth, One Family, One Future. He noted that India views sustainability as a strategic transformation of the economy and society, rather than merely a technological shift, and is pursuing renewables with conviction as the most reliable, affordable and future-ready pathway for growth.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In a meeting with H.E. Dr. Said Mohammed Ahmed Al Saqri, Economic Advisor at the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, Oman, the Union Minister highlighted India\u2019s proven capability to scale solar, wind, green hydrogen and energy storage solutions, including in arid and desert conditions.
