It's a big year for India. It's become the world's most populous country. In September, it will host the G20 summit, at a crucial time for global partnerships in a post-pandemic world and an ongoing conflict in Ukraine. And in just about a year, voters will go to the polls in parliamentary elections.

These recent global events have prompted India to recalibrate its geopolitical strategy. India has earmarked manufacturing as a key sector to manifest its global ambitions, not least to attract jobs at home. The country is keen to use platforms like the G20 – and COP28 – to demonstrate to the world how it balances domestic needs with international pressures to pursue energy transition.
