Happy to hold an interesting discussion with a delegation from Center on Global Energy Policy @ColumbiaUEnergy led by their Founding Director @JasonBordoff; Distinguished Visiting Fellow David Turk; Senior Research Associate @trevorcsutton and India Program Lead & Sr Research Asst @ShayakSengupta. Discussed India’s confident journey towards becoming the world’s third largest economy accounting for more than 25% of the overall increase in global oil demand in the next two decades to drive this unprecedented economic growth under the leadership of PM @narendramodi Ji. Informed the delegation about the steps taken by India to enhance domestic oil & gas production as well as initiatives to attract investments in our E&P sector through several transformational policy reforms backed by the new ORD Act & collaborations along with response received for OALP Rounds 9 and 10, and for Eastern Offshore as India has opened up 1 million sqkms of ‘No Go’ areas for E&P. They resonated the hope and confidence that the world has towards India’s unprecedented quest towards green energy transition. @PetroleumMin @IndianEmbassyUS @PIB_India @indiandiplomats
