The Council on Economic Policies is organizing a series of country-specific roundtables to examine the opportunities and challenges for an affordable, secure, and clean energy future as well as to build a global community of experts to drive progress and unlock synergies across G20 nations. The first roundtables were held in 2024 in Paris and London, followed by the last one in Washington, D.C. earlier in January.

The roundtable held in New Delhi was co-hosted with the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy. It focused on India, which has made significant progress over the last decade to deliver energy to its citizens and the economy. At the same time, many challenges remain. Energy demand is growing rapidly. High reliance on fossil fuels, in particular on oil imports, is exposing both industry and households to geopolitical volatility. Air pollution remains a considerable health risk. And its emissions make India the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases worldwide.

Against this background, the roundtable provided a platform to explore effective fiscal policies and regulatory frameworks for an affordable, secure and clean energy future in India.
