India aims to make 121 airports carbon neutral by 2025

According to Union Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, 25 airports in the nation are powered entirely by green energy, and another 121 will be carbon neutral by 2025.

These remarks were made by Scindia during his virtual speech at the two-day EU-India aviation summit. He tested positive for Covid; hence he was unable to physically attend the event.

The minister said that the usage of renewable energy is now required by the government as part of the bid paperwork for future airports.

Additionally, Scindia asked EU participants to collaborate with India in the development of adaptable technologies and to support the goal of reducing emissions from the aviation sector.

The aviation minister mentioned that India has changed its regulatory framework to support domestic aircraft production.
