Sechin, speaking to global business and political leaders, provided a comprehensive analysis of the energy market's current state and its future challenges. In his keynote titled 'Energy transition and phantom barrels,' he also projected India to become one of the top three largest economies with a GDP of USD 5 trillion in five years and to overtake the US by 2050.
