A report by a top US research institute, while highlighting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) push, has said that India can achieve energy independence through clean technology by 2047.
The report, titled Pathways to Atmanirbhar Bharat, has been jointly published by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a federally funded research and development centre in the US, and The India Energy and Climate Center (IECC) located at the UC Berkeley’s Goldman School of Public Policy.
It highlights the steps taken by India towards the adoption of clean energy.
India, the world’s fifth largest economy, is 80–85 per cent dependent on imports to meet its oil and coal needs.
