All Indian airports to go green by 2025: Scindia

• Follow

Twenty-five airports in the country are running fully on green energy,  while 121 more would go green by 2025, Union Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Thursday. “The emission contribution of the aviation industry has been under immense scrutiny. We have taken several measures to minimise the carbon footprint and mitigate emissions from the aviation industry,” said Scindia said while addressing the EU-India aviation summit. India has about 150 airports and almost 80% run on conventional energy sources. The summit will bring together top-level policy makers, industry executives and stakeholders from both the EU and India. The Aviation Minister noted that India has reformed the regulatory mechanism to promote aircraft manufacturing in the country.
