Union Minister Pralhad Joshi made a compelling pitch at Davos’ World Economic Forum, inviting global investors to join India’s green energy revolution. On January 20, he spotlighted rapid advancements in solar, wind, green hydrogen, and battery storage, proving India’s prowess in delivering ambitious renewable projects nationwide.
A highlight was his meeting with La Caisse executives Charles Émond and Sara Buschard from Canada. They delved into strategies for sustained investments in India’s climate-resilient clean energy landscape. Joshi posted on X about expanding renewable capacities, upgrading transmission networks, and pioneering green hydrogen and storage technologies.
Joshi pushed for amplifying the ‘Partner with India’ campaign, eyeing a slice of the $400 billion global climate investment pie by 2030. The synergy between India’s renewable roadmap and La Caisse’s expertise promises innovative solutions to accelerate India’s clean energy adoption.
Joshi also conferred with Oman’s Dr. Said Mohammad Ahmed Al Sakri on bolstering bilateral renewable ties. He showcased India’s triumphs in harsh terrains, from deserts to drylands, turning challenges into investment magnets for solar, wind, hydrogen, and storage ventures.
Talks extended to collaborative manufacturing of solar modules, electrolysers, and green hydrogen, alongside developments in renewable hydrogen hubs, integrated projects, and export-oriented port facilities. Under the India-Oman CEPA, joint funds, and ISA, they discussed linking to OSOWOG and global green grids.
Plans for co-bidding on solar-wind tenders and spurring industrial R&D rounded off the productive sessions. As world leaders converge in Davos, Joshi’s outreach cements India’s status as a clean energy powerhouse, ripe for international partnerships.
