Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India will play a decisive role in the global energy demand-supply balance as he interacted with chief executives of leading global and Indian energy companies.

The interaction with energy sector CEOs was held at the Prime Minister’s residence at Lok Kalyan Marg as part of the ongoing India Energy Week (IEW) 2026.

The CEOs expressed strong confidence in the country’s growth trajectory and showed keen interest in expanding their business presence in India.

Welcoming the participants, Modi said such roundtables have emerged as an important platform for industry–government alignment.

He noted that direct feedback from global industry leaders helps refine policy frameworks, address sectoral challenges more effectively and further strengthen India’s position as an attractive investment destination.

The prime minister said the country is advancing rapidly towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy and will play a “decisive role” in shaping the global energy demand-supply balance.
