India's potential in the clean fuel sector was highlighted by Girish Tanti, Co-Founder & Vice Chairman of Suzlon Group, at the ET World Leaders Forum. Tanti emphasized that India is rapidly becoming a leader in green gas energy, driven by technological advancements, domestic manufacturing capabilities, and a robust MSME ecosystem. This progress is enabling the nation to scale up clean fuel alternatives, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance global energy security.
Tanti reflected on India's wind energy growth story, skill development in clean-tech, and the country's global leadership in the renewable landscape. He noted that hitting the 100 gigawatt mark by 2030 looks almost certain for wind energy.
