The centre should step up efforts and prioritise phasing out the use of diesel run power gensets according to Amitabh Kant, CEO, Niti Aayog .

Speaking at the India Energy Forum (IEF) 21st India Power Forum, Kant said that if the centre doesn’t do so, the courts will be banning diesel run gensets in the next six months.

Kant also said that the country has not met its goals to assure power-for-all consumers. State governments that are responsible should be named for their shortcomings, he said.
