He led Indian delegations to the energy- and climate-related working groups of G20 under various Presidencies between 2013 and 2017. He has also had a two-year stint at the Environment Ministry handling multiple subjects related to the environment and biodiversity. Since September 2019 he heads the Coal Ministry. While working towards reforming the coal sector with a view to dismantling the monopoly of the Government Undertaking, Coal India Ltd, he has founded the Sustainable Development Cell in the Ministry and coal companies to address energy transition concerns.He was associated as a Visiting Senior Research Fellow with Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, through which he published his book Natural Gas in India: Liberalisation and Policy in 2011.
