This Is India To Invest $100 Billion For Renewable Liberate Energy Inward Side Past Times Side 5 Years
With a stance to achieving “electricity for all yesteryear 2019,” the authorities has railroad train an ambitious target of attracting 15 Lacs crore ($250 billion) investment inwards the mightiness sector inwards the side yesteryear side 4-5 years, Power in addition to Coal Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday.The investments every bit envisaged would assist sectors similar mightiness generation, coal mining, electricity distribution in addition to transmission. This would too assist the authorities growth mightiness generation in addition to ensure electricity to every household yesteryear 2019, Goyal said inwards his address at the Republic of Republic of India Economic Summit, organized yesteryear the Geneva-based World Economic Forum in addition to Indian manufacture sleeping room CII.

The government minister had before said domestic solar equipment manufacturing capacity of 700-800 MW is non sufficient to run across the government's ambitious plans of adding to a greater extent than mightiness generation capacity through renewable loose energy sources. The country's electrical flow installed solar capacity exceeds 2,600 MW. Earlier inwards May, the Ministry of Commerce nether the UPA regime had recommended imposing a restrictive duty inwards the make of $0.11-0.81 per watt on solar cells imported from the US, China, Malaysia in addition to Chinese Taipei inwards a motility to protect the struggling domestic industry.
