During various sessions and meetings at the forum, Joshi engaged with global investors and energy firms to discuss potential investments in renewable energy. This included infrastructure linked to green hydrogen, renewable energy plus battery storage, and grid modernisation. He advocated for patient capital and blended finance structures to facilitate large-scale deployment in these areas.

Investment Opportunities in Renewable Energy

India used the WEF 2026 platform to directly appeal to global investors, showcasing itself as one of the world's largest and most investment-ready clean energy markets. The country anticipates a capital requirement of USD 300-350 billion by 2030. The minister highlighted India's combination of significant demand, policy certainty, a growing manufacturing base, and robust state-level execution as key factors for attracting long-term global capital.

Joshi also underscored the role of Indian states in driving the energy transition. States like Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh are delivering globally competitive solar and storage projects and are emerging as hubs for green hydrogen development. This state-level involvement is crucial for advancing India's renewable energy goals.

India's Clean Energy Market Potential

The minister's discussions at the forum aimed to explore investments in the renewable sector, particularly focusing on green hydrogen-linked infrastructure. He encouraged global investors to consider India's clean energy market, which offers a combination of large demand and policy stability. These factors make India an attractive destination for long-term investments in renewable energy.

Joshi's engagement with global investors at WEF 2026 reflects India's commitment to becoming a leader in clean energy. By highlighting its achievements and future targets, India aims to attract substantial international investment to support its ambitious renewable energy plans.

India's efforts at WEF 2026 demonstrate its readiness to embrace clean energy solutions on a large scale. The country's focus on renewable energy aligns with global trends towards sustainable development and positions it as a key player in the global clean energy market.
