Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, is set to visit Germany to strengthen India's cooperation in sustainable development and renewable energy.

During the visit, there will be a focus on topics like Green Hydrogen, low-cost finance, and the renewable energy value chain. The discussions will also touch upon India's position on green shipping and the role of Green Hydrogen in decarbonizing the mobility sector. The visit aims to enhance India-Germany relations, create business opportunities, and accelerate the expansion of renewable energy both in India and globally. The recent launch of the India-Germany Platform for Investment in Renewable Energies during the RE-INVEST 2024 event signifies a step towards fostering more business opportunities and facilitating technology transfer. India has already achieved its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target of 40% cumulative electric power from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030 in 2021, ahead of schedule. The country is now on track to meet the 50% goal by 2030, which will lead to increased investment and job prospects in the renewable energy sector. India's efforts in the international arena, through platforms like the International Solar Alliance, demonstrate its commitment to global energy transition. This visit to the sustainability conference is expected to further bolster India's endeavors for a sustainable, renewable energy future.
