Mumbai: The United States government reaffirmed its commitment to a strong, results-oriented energy partnership with India during India Energy Week (IEW) 2026, held January 27-30 in Goa. Acting Consul General Mike Schreuder led a U.S. delegation in engagements focused on expanding energy trade, strengthening infrastructure, and advancing technology cooperation-highlighting the growing economic and strategic importance of U.S.-India energy ties.
"The United States and India are building an energy partnership that delivers real benefits for our people," Acting Consul General Schreuder said. "Our cooperation is centered on action-expanding reliable American energy exports, promoting transparent and market-driven growth, and supporting affordable, dependable energy supplies. These efforts strengthen energy security, support economic growth, and create opportunities."
During the week, the U.S. delegation met with Indian national oil companies and industry leaders to discuss increasing imports of American hydrocarbons and civil nuclear energy technologies. The United States currently supplies approximately 10 percent of India's liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) demand, and discussions explored opportunities to expand long-term contracts for U.S. crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG). U.S. energy exports offer India a reliable and flexible supply option to meet its growing demand while supporting American jobs and production. As India seeks to expand civil nuclear power, U.S. companies offer a global track record of success.
The United States and India also underscored the role of innovation in building a secure energy future. Both countries are investing in advanced technologies, including smart grids and next-generation energy systems for a more resilient and reliable energy network.
The U.S. Consulate General Mumbai remains committed to advancing U.S.-India energy cooperation through continued engagement, increased trade and investment, and the promotion of practical, forward-looking solutions that support prosperity and energy security for both nations.
