India pushes coal miners, power producers to roll out renewable energy projects

Overlooking apparent contradictions, India is pushing government-owned mining companies, including coal, thermal power producers and mineral processors to commit to more renewable energy projects.
“It is a little bit of a contradiction, but I have to keep the coal industry going while ensuring large scale outreach on renewables,” junior Minister with independent charge of power, coal, renewable energy and mines, Piyush Goyal, said in a statement.
