«We still have a lot of captive thermal (power). It's not going to shut down tomorrow. It's going to go on for some time, but we're very committed to ensure that the transition happens successfully over time,» Agarwal said at the FT Energy Transition Summit India in New Delhi.
More than 90% of the company's emissions come from thermal energy, Agarwal said. Hindustan Zinc has a captive thermal power capacity of 514 megawatt.
India is looking to lower greenhouse gas emissions and boost the share of non-fossil fuels in electricity generation. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has defended domestic reliance on coal, citing increasing energy requirements in the world's most populous country.
