Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday said there is a huge opportunity in pushing the growth of the renewable energy industry and become a global supplier.
He said that energy security is the next thrust area which will provide economic opportunity for the renewable energy sector.
"We have tremendous potential to make a big difference to India’s and the world’s future, both on sustainability and self-reliance on energy. It is a great opportunity to nurture the renewable energy industry and grow into becoming a world supplier," Goyal said while addressing a CII’s conference on making India a global hub in renewable energy.
The Indian economy is a "bright star" in an otherwise gloomy situation globally, he added.
