India and Australia have agreed to expand cooperation in the clean energy sector, focusing on manufacturing and technology sharing. The decision came after a meeting between India’s Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi and Australia’s Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen in New Delhi.
Joshi said both nations aim to adopt best practices and enhance collaboration in renewable energy. Bowen described India as Australia’s “best friend in energy transition” and expressed his commitment to deepen the partnership. The ministers also launched the India-Australia Green Hydrogen Taskforce Report, which outlines a roadmap for joint initiatives.
The meeting highlighted mutual efforts to promote green hydrogen, solar energy, and energy storage. Joshi said the partnership would strengthen clean energy manufacturing and help both nations achieve sustainability goals. The leaders also agreed to continue high-level talks under the Renewable Energy Partnership framework.
This collaboration builds on the India-Australia Annual Summit, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese pledged to accelerate joint climate action. Both sides aim to boost investments, develop renewable technologies, and train skilled workers for the growing green energy sector.
