To decrease pollution in Indian cities, how will the fuel mix choices need to change, especially in the power and transport sectors, where fossil fuels now dominate? How can national champions leverage their customer reach in the energy sector to bring the best technologies to consumers? Once consensus is achieved on the medium- and long-term fuel mix, what are the critical parameters of a market- and customer-supportive regulatory framework?
