Manohar Lal, Union Minister of Power, will participate in the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial Meeting (ETMM) from 7th to 10th October 2025 in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa, hosted under the South African G20 Presidency. The meeting will bring together energy leaders from major economies to discuss 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”, aimed at strengthening international cooperation for universal access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy — a critical driver of economic growth and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

During the meeting, Manohar Lal will highlight India’s progress in renewable energy, including the recent milestone of generating 50 per cent of its total power capacity from renewable sources, reflecting India’s commitment to a cleaner, greener, and inclusive energy future.

He will also share India’s experiences and best practices in ensuring energy access, affordability, and security, particularly for rural and developing regions. Manohar Lal is expected to underscore that energy transitions and climate change are pressing global challenges, disproportionately affecting developing nations.

The Minister will reaffirm India’s commitment to collaborative global efforts for a just, affordable, and inclusive energy transition, aligned with the vision of “One Earth, One Family, One Future.”

The ETMM and Energy Transitions Working Group (ETWG) sessions will be held in-person at The Capital Hotel, Zimbali, Durban, serving as a key platform to advance the G20 agenda on clean, secure, and equitable energy systems.
