India and Oman held high-level discussions on strengthening cooperation in renewable energy during the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026, with a focus on manufacturing, exports, and green hydrogen.
Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi met Said Mohammed Ahmed Al Saqri, Economic Advisor at Oman’s Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, on the sidelines of the annual meet in Davos.
The talks centred on joint manufacturing and export opportunities for solar modules, electrolysers, and green hydrogen, along with encouraging Omani investments in India’s renewable-powered hydrogen hubs and integrated energy projects.
Joshi highlighted India’s capability to scale renewable energy solutions, including solar, wind, green hydrogen, and energy storage, even in arid and desert conditions, positioning the country as an attractive destination for global investors.
The two sides also discussed leveraging the India-Oman Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), the Joint Investment Fund, and cooperation under the International Solar Alliance. Opportunities under the One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG) initiative, joint participation in upcoming solar and wind tenders, and port-based export infrastructure were also explored.
Earlier, Joshi met a Madhya Pradesh government delegation at the India Lounge in Davos to discuss the state’s renewable energy roadmap.
WEF 2026 is being held under the theme ‘A Spirit of Dialogue’, with participation from nearly 400 political leaders, including 65 heads of state and government.
