Oil and gas will keep meeting India’s ‘baseload’ energy demand: Oil min
Oil and gas will continue to meet the ‘baseload’ energy demand of India in “foreseeable future” even as the world’s third biggest crude importer takes steps to move to cleaner sources to cut emissions, oil minister Hardeep Sing Puri said on Friday.
India has set a goal to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2070.
“As our economy grows to $5 trillion by 2025, and towards $10 trillion by 2030, our burgeoning energy needs will take shape and in turn, the global energy markets will be shaped by India’s requirements,” Puri told the World Energy Policy Summit.
