India will have 50% non-fossil fuel energy by 2030: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed this week that by 2030, 50 per cent of India's energy production will be through non-fossil fuel, and by 2070 it plans to be 'Net Zero'.

Addressing a public rally on the completion of 40 years of Japan's Suzuki Motor Corp at Gandhinagar in Gujarat, he said that a silent revolution is taking shape in India with rising demand for electric vehicles. The state and Central governments have extended incentives and subsidies for the EV sector.

Remembering his first interaction with Suzuki's Chairman 13 years ago, Modi added, "When the Suzuki chairman showed interest in setting up a plant in Gujarat, I was confident that with each passing year the company will come to know how much Gujarat is committed to development."

The Prime Minister said, "I wanted to create a mini-Japan in Gujarat … now the state has many golf courses, Japanese restaurants and even locals have started learning Japanese. Even Japan has special love for Gujarat and as many as 125 Japanese companies are functioning in the state. It looks like mini-Japan."

Acknowledging Japan's 'kaizen' management concept, Modi said he brought the kaizen-related experiences and learning of Gujarat to the Prime Minister's Office and other Central government departments.
