India could become a global green energy superpower with exports of clean energy rising to $500 billion over the next 20 years, Mukesh Ambani, chairman of oil-to-telecom conglomerate Reliance Industries, said on Wednesday.
Indian companies including Reliance have announced plans worth billions of dollars to boost India’s renewable energy capacity including building battery storage, fuel cells and producing green hydrogen at less than $1 per kilogram.
“If the last 20 years, we were known for India’s emergence as an IT superpower, next 20 years, I believe, along with technology, will mark our emergence as a superpower in energy and life sciences,” Ambani, one of Asia’s richest men, said at the Asia Economic Dialogue.
