Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Thursday said
that despite global crises, India has fared well on energy, food and
fuel fronts.
Addressing the 25th Energy Techonology Meet
in Mumbai, he said that despite the unique challenges posed by the
current global setting, India is wedded to the concept of net zero and
is committed to making a transition from the world of hydrocarbons to a
world where green and sustainable energy will be determining our energy
needs.
Puri further said that the country's per capita energy
consumption is one-third of global average now and will surpass it in
the years to come.
"India is on a path to become a $10 trillion
economy in 2030 and third largest economy in the world by 2047 and
therefore, there is a growing need to change the energy mix," the
minister added.
He reiterated the Government's resolve to not let anything undermine commitments towards green transition.
"By
May 2022, India had already attained 10 per cent biofuel blending and
is now on course to reach the 20 per cent mark in a year or two," Puri
said later during a media interaction.
