Mumbai, January 30

The United States government reaffirmed its commitment to a strong, results-oriented energy partnership with India during India Energy Week 2026, held from January 27 to 30 in Goa, with engagements focused on expanding energy trade, strengthening infrastructure and advancing technology cooperation, according to a press release issued by the US Consulate General Mumbai.

Acting Consul General Mike Schreuder led a US delegation during the event, highlighting the growing economic and strategic importance of US-India energy ties. "The United States and India are building an energy partnership that delivers real benefits for our people," Schreuder said.

"Our cooperation is centered on action--expanding reliable American energy exports, promoting transparent and market-driven growth, and supporting affordable, dependable energy supplies. These efforts strengthen energy security, support economic growth and create opportunities," he added.

During the week, the US delegation met Indian national oil companies and industry leaders to discuss increasing imports of American hydrocarbons and civil nuclear energy technologies. The United States currently supplies approximately 10 per cent of India's liquefied petroleum gas demand, while discussions explored opportunities to expand long-term contracts for US crude oil and liquefied natural gas.

The press release said US energy exports offer India a reliable and flexible supply option to meet its growing demand while supporting American jobs and production, adding that as India seeks to expand civil nuclear power, US companies offer a global track record of success.

The United States and India also underscored the role of innovation in building a secure energy future, with both countries investing in advanced technologies, including smart grids and next-generation energy systems, for a more resilient and reliable energy network.

The US Consulate General Mumbai said it remains committed to advancing US-India energy cooperation through continued engagement, increased trade and investment, and the promotion of practical, forward-looking solutions that support prosperity and energy security for both nations.

Good to see focus on smart grids and next-gen tech. Our power distribution needs a massive upgrade. While imports are needed now, I hope a significant part of the partnership is dedicated to helping India build its own domestic renewable energy capacity and storage solutions.

Long-term contracts for LNG and crude oil? Excellent. This can shield us from global price volatility. The US as a supplier is geopolitically stable. But we must ensure the deals are truly "market-driven" and transparent, giving the best value for our country.

The civil nuclear energy part is key. If US companies can help us safely expand our nuclear power, it's a game-changer for base-load clean energy. However, the terms of technology transfer and liability need to be carefully negotiated to truly benefit India in the long run.

Partnership sounds good on paper. But let's be real, the US is also looking out for its own jobs and production. We should leverage this partnership to build our own strategic reserves and invest heavily in green hydrogen and solar. Can't just be a forever importer.

Goa was a great venue for this. Hope some of these discussions also focus on coastal and maritime energy infrastructure. Reliable energy supply is not just about buying fuel, it's about ports, shipping, and storage. A holistic approach is needed. Good step forward!
