This is a welcome move, especially with the country being a signatory to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Despite the increasing clamour against coal, realistically, India’s energy needs would still be coal dependent to a large extent. ‘Clean Coal Technology’ assumes critical importance in this context.
