India voicing energy concerns of poorer nations at G20: Govt

India is well ahead of major economies in achieving targets for emission cuts and energy transition but will not compromise on its energy security, Union Minister for Power, New and Renewable Energy R K Singh said Sunday, adding that the country will bring to focus concerns of the poorer nations that do not have resources for transition.

Addressing the media on the sidelines of the G20’s Energy Transition Working Group (ETWG) meeting in Bengaluru, he reiterated that India will bring to the fore the issues that are crucial for the development of the Group of 20 countries that represent 85 per cent of the global GDP and 75 per cent of the global trade.
