India ‘red hot investment opportunity’ for clean energy: Kerry

Calling India a “red hot investment opportunity” because of the country’s efforts to increase the share of renewables in the energy basket, special US presidential envoy for climate John Kerry said on Tuesday that “global investment in new clean power capacity is set to exceed $10 trillion through mid-century, more than six times the investments in dirtier options”.

Kerry made the comment while delivering the keynote address at the annual leadership summit of South Asia Women in Energy — a platform launched in 2019 by the US India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), in partnership with United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
