PM says India's push for green growth, energy transition has 3 main pillars -- increasing renewable energy production, reducing fossil fuels usage, and taking the country towards a gas-based economy.
The concept of ‘Green Growth’ in the Union Budget validates how sustainable development has been mainstreamed in Indian policy making process, says Bhupender Yadav.
The budget provided ₹35,000 crore for priority capital investments towards energy transition and net zero objectives, and energy security by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas.
These priorities are inclusive development, reaching the last mile, infrastructure and development, green growth, youth power, and the financial sector.
