Union Minister of Commerce & Industry, Commerce Affairs, Food & Public Distribution Shri Piyush Goyal today called upon the industry to help achieve outcomes of New Delhi Declaration. The declaration was made at the recently concluded G20 Leaders’ Summit in New Delhi.

Speaking at the Fourth International Conference & Exhibition on Clean Energy, organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, themed Global Champions for Advancing Clean Energy Innovation & Manufacturing, Mr Goyal said sustainability and inclusivity were the key themes for development.

"The astonishing growth of our clean energy sector is a testament to the skill and dedication of our engineering community," he added.

India-Middle East-Europe Corridor, an economic corridor, and the International Biofuels Alliance were key initiatives announced at the G20 Summit. Mr Goyal said the corridor will bring down the logistics cost for businesses and help in transmission of electricity across continents.

Mr Sanjiv Puri, President Designate of CII and Chairman & Managing Director of ITC Limited, said India's proactive role in platforms like the International Solar Alliance. "The New Delhi Declaration at the G20 is a testament to India's foresight and diplomatic acumen," he observed.
