India is central to any global climate response and a transition to green and clean energy, a visiting official from the US’ Department of Energy (DOE) said on Thursday. Speaking at an event organised by the DOE and thinktank Observer Research Foundation in the financial capital, assistant secretary for international affairs in the DOE, Andrew Light, said India will decide the global future of energy as well.
A clutch of Indian conglomerates, including Reliance Industries, Adani Group and the Tatas, have announced their plans to enter the clean energy business, eyeing the opportunity that can be served in the country that holds a sixth of humanity.
