from scratch gained credibility with President Barack Obama’s
pledge to lend U.S. financial support for the program.

financing.” The remark was made at a press conference on Sunday,

iterated his aim for India to install by 2022 as much photovoltaic
capacity as the U.S. now has.Selected Associates
