Emphasising on zero carbon emissions to get rid of pollution in cities, Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Ayog, on Monday said India’s energy growth story will be driven by renewable energy in the coming future.
“After the industry and residential sector, the transportation sector is the third-largest energy consumer. In India, 17% of which is largely dominated by oil fuels. India’s energy growth story will be driven by renewable energy in the coming future. With the focus on the Paris Pact in getting rid of air pollution in our cities, it is inevitable that we shift to zero carbon emissions, mobility powered by renewable sources of energy,” said Kant during the virtual launch of the Tata Motors and Pune-based Repos Energy Startup Summit 2021 on Monday.
