U.S. Secretary of State Rubio publicly praised India’s drive to diversify its energy portfolio, noting that the move strengthens both nations’ strategic interests. He emphasized that expanding beyond traditional fossil fuels is essential for energy security and climate commitments.
India has been accelerating investments in renewable power, nuclear capacity and other alternative energy projects to reduce dependence on coal and oil. The government’s policies aim to increase the share of clean energy in the national grid over the coming years.
Rubio’s remarks underscore the growing alignment between Washington and New Delhi on energy cooperation. Both sides see opportunities for joint ventures, technology transfer and financing that could accelerate India’s transition while supporting U.S. clean‑energy exports.
