Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 27 highlighted India’s efforts at green growth, clean energy, sustainable lifestyles and global wellbeing, at a G7 summit session. “The target of 10 per cent ethanol-blending in petrol has been achieved 5 months before time. India has the world’s first fully solar power operated airport. India’s huge railway system will become net zero in this decade,” he said. “When a large country like India shows such ambition, other developing countries also get inspiration. We hope that the rich countries of G-7 will support India’s efforts. Today, a huge market for clean energy technologies is emerging in India,” the prime minister said. (Image: Twitter @MEAIndia)
