On the closing day of the third edition of India Energy Week 2025, petroleum and natural gas Hardeep Puri spoke about the success of the showpiece energy event highlighting its unprecedented participant and exhibitor numbers and technical paper submissions.
Minister Puri emphasized that India's model is not only successful but also highly replicable in other Global South nations facing similar energy access challenges.
The session brought together representatives from Brazil, Tanzania, Malawi, Sudan, Nepal, and industry leaders including the International Energy Agency (IEA), Total Energy, and Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
The Union Minister said that the real story in India is that LPG costs not more than 7 cents in a day if one falls under the economically weaker section. For people for falling in the non-economically weaker section, he said it costs 15 cents a day.
