Shri Manohar Lal, Hon’ble Union Minister of Power, will participate in the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting (ETMM) to be held in KwaZulu Natal Province, South Africa, from 7th to 10th October 2025. The meeting, hosted under the South African G20 Presidency, will bring together energy leaders from the world’s major economies to deliberate on key issues shaping the global energy future.
The Minister will attend sessions on “Energy Security, Clean Cooking, Affordable and Reliable Access” and “Sustainable Industrial Development.” These discussions aim to strengthen international cooperation to ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy, which is crucial for economic growth and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
During the meeting, Shri Manohar Lal will highlight India’s remarkable journey in accelerating the transition towards renewable energy under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. India has recently achieved a significant milestone — generating 50% of its total power capacity from renewable energy sources, well ahead of global expectations. This achievement underscores India’s strong commitment to building a cleaner, greener, and more resilient energy future while ensuring that growth remains inclusive and sustainable.
He will also sha’e India’s experiences and best practices in ensuring energy access, affordability, and security for all, particularly in rural and developing regions. Shri Manohar Lal is expected to emphasize that energy transitions and climate change are among the most pressing global challenges, disproportionately impacting developing nations that often face resource and capacity constraints.
The Minister will reiterate India’s steadfast commitment to collaborative global efforts aimed at achieving a just, affordable, and inclusive energy transition, aligning with the broader vision of “One Earth, One Family, One Future.”
The Energy Transitions Working Group (ETWG) and Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting (ETMM) will be held in-person at The Capital Hotel, Zimbali, Durban, and will serve as a crucial platform for advancing the G20 agenda on clean, secure, and equitable energy systems.
