A meeting of the Consultative Committee of the Ministry of Power was held on April 28, 2025 under the Chairmanship of our Power Minister Manohar Lal. The agenda for discussion was ‘Roadmap for Development of Nuclear Power Generation’.
During the meeting, Lal highlighted India’s commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2070 and emphasized that increasing the share of non-fossil fuel-based power generation is central to this vision. As the power sector contributes over 40% of global energy-related emissions, nuclear energy, being a non-fossil and stable power source, will play an increasingly important role in India’s sustainable development journey.
During the two days tour of Gujarat, Lal, also met Chief Minister of Gujarat, Bhupendra Patel, at his official residence in Gandhinagar. The two leaders held discussions on key issues concerning the power and urban development sectors in Gujarat.
