India on the path to become a green energy hub, says PM Modi in US speech

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that India is working to become a green energy hub and that the country is committed to reducing its carbon emissions. Speaking at a joint press conference with US President Joe Biden in Washington, DC, Modi said that India has set a target of achieving 40% of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2030.

"We are working to become a green energy hub," Modi said. "We are committed to reducing our carbon emissions."

Modi also said that India is investing in clean energy technologies and that the country is working to promote energy efficiency.

"We are investing in clean energy technologies," Modi said. "We are working to promote energy efficiency."

Modi's comments come as India is facing increasing pressure to reduce its carbon emissions. The country is the world's third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, after China and the United States.


However, India has argued that it needs to continue to grow its economy in order to lift millions of people out of poverty. The country has also said that it is committed to reducing its emissions, but that it needs to do so in a way that does not harm its economic growth.

Modi's comments in Washington DC, are a sign that India is serious about its commitment to reducing its carbon emissions. The country is investing in clean energy technologies and is working to promote energy efficiency. These efforts are likely to continue in the years to come, as India seeks to become a green energy hub.

In addition to the above, here are some other ways that India is working to become a green energy hub:

The government has set up a National Hydrogen Mission, which aims to promote the production and use of hydrogen as a clean fuel.

The government is also promoting the use of solar and wind power. India is already one of the world's leading producers of solar power, and the government is aiming to increase its solar capacity to 100 gigawatts by 2022. India is also working to improve energy efficiency. This includes measures such as improving the efficiency of appliances and buildings.

India's efforts to become a green energy hub are important for both the country and the world. As the world's third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, India has a major role to play in addressing climate change. By investing in clean energy technologies and promoting energy efficiency, India can reduce its emissions and help to protect the environment.
