Vision for Clean Air, Energy Independence & Atmanirbhar Bharat
Expressing his enthusiasm, Mr. Anand Gupta, CMD – C2Z & EQMagPro, said:
“We are proud to bring our flagship Global Solar Expo & Conference to Chhattisgarh. Our objective is to make Chhattisgarh and Raipur among the cleanest-air regions in India by encouraging people to switch to electric vehicles, charge EVs using solar power, and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels like coal and petroleum.”
He further added:
“India imports more than ₹10 lakh crore worth of fossil fuels every year, which weakens the economy and severely impacts the environment. Solar PV is a Made-in-India technology that enables energy security, clean mobility, and sustainable growth.”
“With rapid advancements in energy storage, renewable energy today is capable of delivering firm and dispatchable power — even at night or during low-generation periods. Energy independence through 100% renewable energy is achievable, and that has been our mission for the last 16 years — to build a truly Atmanirbhar India.”
