During high-level discussions in New Delhi, Gor met US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Misri to chart the future of the US-India energy partnership. A primary focus of the talks was India's landmark passage of the SHANTI Bill, which has paved the way for renewed cooperation in the civil nuclear sector. Beyond nuclear energy, the two leaders identified several critical areas for immediate collaboration, including coal gasification technology and the expansion of U.S. LPG exports to meet India's growing domestic energy demands.

After India's historic passage of the SHANTI Bill, we are ready to cooperate on civil nuclear in addition to other areas such as coal gasification and U.S. LPG exports."

Discussed with Deputy Secretary Feinberg ways that we can deepen ties, including through defence sales of U.S. equipment, the best in the world, and strengthening interoperability."

Misri was on a three-day visit to the United States.
