As India seeks to transform into a $5 trillion economy, it is imperative to ensure energy availability in an affordable manner for our 1.3 billion people.

He further added, “India has emerged as the third largest energy consumer of the world and will play a key role in shaping the global energy dynamics and energy transition. India is making significant strides towards a low carbon economy by significantly increasing the renewable energy capacity, giving thrust to biofuels, promoting gas-based economy and making transportation sector green through e-mobility.

Hon. Prime Minister in his address in New York at the UN Climate Action Summit underlined India’s thrust on going big on renewables. India will increase the share of non-fossil fuels, by increasing renewable energy capacity to 450 GW, much beyond the initial target of 175 GW by 2022, on which we are progressing fast.”
