India is set to highlight its progress in the power and energy sectors at the upcoming BRICS Energy Ministers’ Meeting, scheduled to take place in Brazil on May 19, the Ministry of Power said on Saturday.
Union Minister for Power and Housing and Urban Affairs, Manohar Lal, has embarked on an official visit to represent India at the high-level gathering.
The meeting, being held under the theme “Empowering Global South Cooperation for Inclusive and Sustainable Global Governance,” will bring together energy ministers from BRICS nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — to deliberate on critical issues such as energy security, accessibility, affordability, and sustainability.
India plans to use this platform to showcase key achievements from the past decade, including a 90 per cent increase in power generation capacity, significant advancements in renewable energy, green hydrogen, and biofuels, along with notable innovations in sustainable energy practices.
During the discussions, India will also reaffirm its commitment to making energy more accessible and affordable, while accelerating the shift towards clean energy.
