Gandhinagar: As Gujarat surges ahead in its renewable energy journey, the upcoming Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conferences (VGRC) will serve as a platform to showcase the state’s achievements, innovations, and vision in green energy. The conferences, set to focus on the theme of “Green Gujarat”, will highlight the state’s ambitious Mission 100 GW by 2030, a key milestone in India’s broader goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070.
