India will continue to rely on coal power until it becomes developed country, says Bhupender Yadav

The Hindu  

December 19, 2023 11:57 am | Updated 01:17 pm IST - New Delhi India is committed to meeting the energy needs of its people and will also have to rely on coal power until it achieves developed country status, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said on December 19. Mr. Yadav said India “strongly resisted” the rich nations’ call for limitations on new and unabated coal power generation. Developing countries, including India, pushed rich nations to take the lead in climate action and “that’s why the climate conference in Dubai got extended”, Mr. Yadav said. At COP28, the Minister said, India also asked rich nations to vacate carbon space by achieving negative carbon emissions, not merely reaching net zero by 2050.
