NEW DELHI: Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Friday said India’s global energy footprint has widened significantly over the past decade, growing from 27 partner countries to 40, a shift he attributed to strengthened energy diplomacy and a more secure sourcing network under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
Highlighting the country’s expanding global engagement, he said that India has built a stronger and more secure energy network by diversifying its partnerships across continents, refining its sourcing basket, and cementing trusted alliances.
“Bharat’s global energy footprint is expanding with purpose. From 27 partner countries a decade ago to 40 today, India has built a stronger and more secure energy network under PM Narendra Modi, ” Puri said in a post on social media platform X.
