India needs manufacturing pre-eminence to be self-reliant: Anand Mahindra
The COVID-19 crisis has sharply underlined that India’s manufacturing capabilities are woefully inadequate, both for its needs and ambitions, and for the country to be self-reliant in the solar energy sector, it needs manufacturing pre-eminence, Mahindra & Mahindra group Chairman Anand Mahindra said on Tuesday.
Speaking at the First World Solar Technology Summit, he also called for a partnership between the Renewable Energy Ministry and top ten solar businesses in the country to fund creation of “an equivalent of a ‘genius prime’ for innovation in solar technology”.
