NEW DELHI – Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday met chief executive officers of the global energy sector as part of the ongoing India Energy Week 2026. During the interaction, the chief executive officers expressed strong confidence in India's growth trajectory and conveyed their keen interest in expanding and deepening their business presence in India, citing policy stability, reform momentum, and long-term demand visibility, the Prime Minister's Office said in a release. 

Modi said that direct feedback from global industry leaders helps refine policy frameworks, address sectoral challenges more effectively, and strengthens India's position as an attractive investment destination. "Highlighting India's robust economic momentum, Prime Minister stated that India is advancing rapidly towards becoming the world's third-largest economy and will play a decisive role in the global energy demand-supply balance," the release said. 

The prime minister highlighted significant investment opportunities in India's energy sector, including investment potential of around $100 billion in exploration and production. He also underscored the $30-billion opportunity in compressed biogas, and large-scale opportunities across the broader energy value chain, including gas-based economy, refinery–petrochemical integration, and maritime and shipbuilding.

"Prime Minister observed that while the global energy landscape is marked by uncertainty, it also presents immense opportunity. He called for innovation, collaboration, and deeper partnerships, reiterating that India stands ready as a reliable and trusted partner across the entire energy value chain," the release said. 

The roundtable saw participation from 27 chief executive officers and senior corporate dignitaries representing leading global and Indian energy companies and institutions, including TotalEnergies, BP, Vitol, Vedanta, and the International Energy Forum.  End
