Chairing a workshop on the National Green Hydrogen Mission and opportunities for MSMEs, Minister Joshi appealed to small businesses to promote decentralised renewable energy integration.
He pointed out that MSMEs could help generate local employment by leveraging their last-mile reach.
India is moving towards its goal of becoming Aatmanirbhar (self-reliant) through clean energy, supporting the global clean energy transition, decarbonising the economy, and reducing dependence on fossil fuel imports.
