India, Oman Discuss Joint Renewable Energy Manufacturing and Green Hydrogen Cooperation at WEF 2026
Jan 21, 2026
India and Oman engaged in high-level talks at the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026 to deepen collaboration in the renewable energy sector, with particular emphasis on manufacturing partnerships, green hydrogen development, and cross-border investments.
The discussions took place during a meeting between Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi and Said Mohammed Ahmed Al Saqri, Economic Advisor at Oman’s Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, on the sidelines of the annual Davos gathering.
Both sides explored opportunities for joint production and export of solar modules, electrolysers, and green hydrogen, while also examining avenues for increased Omani investment in India’s renewable-powered hydrogen hubs and integrated clean energy projects.
During the talks, Joshi underscored India’s ability to rapidly scale renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind, green hydrogen, and energy storage, even in challenging arid and desert environments. He highlighted India’s growing appeal as a global investment destination for clean energy solutions.
The dialogue also covered enhanced cooperation under existing frameworks, including the India–Oman Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), the Joint Investment Fund, and initiatives led by the International Solar Alliance. Potential collaboration under the One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG) initiative, joint participation in upcoming solar and wind tenders, and development of port-linked export infrastructure were also discussed.
Separately, Joshi met with a delegation from the Madhya Pradesh government at the India Lounge in Davos to review the state’s renewable energy development strategy.
WEF 2026 is being conducted under the theme “A Spirit of Dialogue” and has drawn nearly 400 political leaders from across the world, including 65 heads of state and government.
