India solar power investments could surpass that of coal
Deutsche Bank report – Make way for the sun
India has made an exceptional commitment to solar energy by raising its 2022 target five-fold to100GW and its renewable energy target to 175GW. The government has announced an unprecedented policy push and states are providing the necessary infrastructure. Annual investments in solar could surpass investment in coal by 2019 – 2020, with USD 35bn committed by global players.
