What is the Indo-German collaboration in renewable energy?

It is not just about renewable energy but a host of sustainable strategies. Germany and India have recently signed bilateral agreements on sustainable development worth a total of $10.5 billion. The main aim is to boost the use of clean energy. The deals were all signed during prime minister Modi’s recent visit to Berlin.

Interestingly, the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has sought India’s support for the tough stance that the US and Europe adopted towards Russia. However, India has diplomatically refrained from overtly criticising Russia. Even during the UNSC and the UNGA votes, India abstained from voting. The plethora of agreements cover technical assistance for renewable energy and hydrogen as well as efforts to improve agricultural land use in sustainable way.
