The event will bring together around 30,000 international policymakers, regulators, senior government officials of India, and energy industry business executives from across the globe. During the event, US and India will bolster their plans on green hydrogen & LNG, and how to tax clean energy.
As per the agenda of the meeting, the council will talk about tax policies to hasten the growth of India’s clean energy capacity keeping in mind the rising demand for energy and increasing pollution. The discussion will also cover the value of US-India trade cooperation in fostering the development of novel fuels like green hydrogen along with the function of liquefied natural gas or LNG as a transition fuel in India’s energy sector.
