By which year India will achieve zero-diesel use in agriculture and replace fossil fuel with renewable energy - according to Union Power Minister RK Singh?

During a meeting with officials from the power ministry and the ministry of new and renewable energy, Singh emphasized the importance of coordinating efforts between the federal and state governments to implement large-scale energy efficiency measures. The minister also emphasized the importance of establishing a state-specific agency focused on improving energy efficiency. He urged the states to create an action plan to meet the assigned targets.

He went on to say that the central government is acting toward a clean and innovative India, which cannot be realized without power systems, and that it looks forward to restarting to perform with all states and UTs to reach this aim. During the meeting, Singh stated that commercial buildings should adhere to ECBS and domestic buildings should adhere to ECO NIVAS and that this should be included in the building by-law. He stated that non-fossil fuel methods will meet all power demands with the assistance of energy storage.

He reaffirmed the prime minister's commitment to intensifying India's fight against climate change and global warming, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between the center and states to ensure Energy Transition in all potential segments of the country. This meeting was organized following the Prime Minister's commitment at COP26 to reduce our country's carbon intensity. The goal of this gathering was to ensure state participation in meeting India's climate commitments, and each state and UT can be designated energy-saving targets.
