Chairing a 'Ministerial Roundtable on Clean Cooking' on the second day of 'India Energy Week 2025' in the national capital, Minister Puri highlighted India's success through targeted subsidies, strong political will, digitization of distribution networks by oil marketing companies (OMCs), and nationwide campaigns promoting cultural shifts towards clean cooking.

The session brought together representatives from Brazil, Tanzania, Malawi, Sudan, and Nepal, and industry leaders, including the International Energy Agency (IEA), Total Energy, and Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

Puri emphasized that India's model is not only successful but also highly replicable in other Global South nations facing similar energy access challenges.
