After our assessments for electricity sector transition in India, we are excited to take forward the industry transition agenda," said Ajay Mathur, Director General of the The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI)."This charter is an important step from Indian industry to voluntarily commit themself to decarbonisation measures and to work together in key thematic areas that can make a zero-carbon future, a reality for India," he said adding that TERI will serve as the secretariat of this industry coalition.As next steps, TERI plans to facilitate discussions among the charter signatories to narrow down upon key thematic areas that will be collectively pursued by the industry coalition.Initial proposals and ideas include working on integration of renewables in the grid, electric mobility and green hydrogen technologies.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
