India’s prime minister said he wanted countries with the “greatest” solar energy potential to cooperate more closely to help reduce its costs and offer power to remote communities. “PM called on nations join hands with India for innovation & cutting-edge research,” he tweeted.


Modi made the comments after he had chaired the country’s high-level climate panel on Monday, the first time the body had met in over three years
The 18-strong grouping includes environment minister Prakash Javadekar, UN climate science chief Rajendra Pachauri and external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj. More than 300 million Indians live without access to electricity, the World Bank estimates, which limits the country’s ability to hit western levels of development.


Last week, US multinational SunEdison and India-based Adani Group revealed they are collaborating on a US$4 billion solar factory in Gujurat, Modi’s home state. The Indian government wants to boost solar capacity from 2.7 to 22 gigawatts by 2022. Coal power is currently 50% cheaper.
