SUSTAINABLE BHARAT
World has noticed the concept of LIFE, Lifestyle for Environment, given by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. This vision is complemented by focussed execution of all dimensions of environment management. We stand committed to lead the world in sustainable living. We will use both traditional wisdom as well as modern practices to contribute to a healthier planet.
Increasing non-fossil fuel capacity
Due to our focus on the environment, we have reached 44% of our electricity generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources. We will continue on this path and increase the share of non-fossil fuel sources in line with Panchamrit. We will work towards achieving net zero emissions by 2070.
