Amitabh Kant, the CEO of NITI Aayog, discussed India's energy transformation at the Fortune India Next 500 event in New Delhi. Kant emphasized the need for India to shift from being a significant importer of fossil fuels to becoming a leading exporter of clean energy. He outlined ambitious renewable energy targets, aiming to surpass 500 gigawatts by 2030 and potentially reaching 750 gigawatts. Central to this transition is the focus on green hydrogen, with the vision of India becoming the largest producer and exporter of green hydrogen globally. Kant stressed the importance of decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors such as steel and cement and the necessity of innovative financing mechanisms to support this transition. He urged for stronger international financial support and highlighted the significance of technological advancements, including the digitization of India's grid and the implementation of smart grid systems for efficient renewable energy management. Kant's vision for India includes aligning financing, technology, and entrepreneurial efforts towards the goal of becoming a clean energy exporter by 2030. With abundant renewable energy resources, India has the potential to lead in green hydrogen production and electrolyser manufacturing, positioning itself as a key player in the global energy shift.
