Webinar summary: How will India’s Future Energy Strategy Evolve? Thursday 8 October 2020

There is the opportunity for renewables – 4th largest wind power installed, solar, hydrogen and hydro. There is a move towards renewables, but how quickly will this take place, and will India manage to achieve the transformation before 2050, and will the Indian Government be able to finance this transformation?
