NEW YORK: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday told a global business forum that his government is looking at ways and technology in coal gasification to ensure the natural resource is used by the country in a clean and environment-friendly manner to meet its energy requirements.
“This is right that the world’s third-largest coal reserves is in India. In a poor country like India, we cannot ignore it but there is a solution to it,” he said during a Q&A session at the Bloomberg Global Business Forum here.
“We will have to change the ways of mining and we have to carry out underground mining so that it does not damage the environment,” Modi said.
