The MoU was signed at the 7th CII International Energy Conference & Exhibition, which concluded successfully in New Delhi today.
The strategic agreement establishes a comprehensive framework for mutual cooperation, technology transfer, collaborative research and development, and knowledge sharing in renewable energy development, energy efficiency, and conservation measures.
