Amitabh Kant, former CEO of NITI Aayog, says geopolitical tensions involving Iran underline the strategic need for India to accelerate its clean energy transition. With India importing nearly $240 billion worth of fossil fuels annually, rising crude prices significantly strain the economy, as every $10 increase adds about $15 billion to the import bill.

Erik Solheim, former Environment Minister of Norway, adds that India has the scale and resources to emerge as a global clean energy exporter by streamlining approvals, engaging communities, and expanding solar and wind capacity.
