The Budget announcements and steps such as production linked incentive (PLI) scheme are efforts in making the country self-sufficient and achieve sustainable development, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on March 7. He also said India is hoping to use its livestock base to produce energy in the days to come.
“Our Budget, both last year and this year, and the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ programme including our PLI scheme are efforts in our direction towards becoming self-sufficient and also our commitment towards a sustainable future for India,” he said addressing an interactive session on environment at the India Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. “India is promoting a number of startups that are working on sustainability,” he added.
