WASHINGTON: India is committed to decarbonising its economy as a responsible global citizen, though the country s priorities are different from the developed world, Union petroleum and natural gas minister Dharmendra Pradhan has said.
Observing that India s energy demand is all set to increase in the coming years, he told a US think-tank that the future of the growth of energy demand will come from India.
The incremental requirement of India s energy will come from renewable energy, he said and referred to the recent announcement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that by 2030, India s energy basket would have 40 per cent of its needs from the renewable sector.
