Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event organised by industry body CII here late on Tuesday, Goyal said there are one or two instances of companies which don't do well or may have some problems. We will continue to have coal and newer coal plants coming in. I will shortly be tying up with MIT in Cambridge for developing clean coal technologies." Earlier this month, reports had surfaced that the Adani group is in talks with the US-based renewable energy major SunEdison to acquire the latter's Indian assets."

It's the base load of power in India. Coal will remain mainstay of our energy, but we are open to looking at cleaner coal technologies so that we don't do what the West has done to the environment over the last 150 years.India has very large corporations, both domestic and international, which have won contacts in the solar energy field. On the use of coal to generate electricity, Goyal said the dry fuel will continue to be important. There was a point of time where very large airline companies failed in different parts of the world. "And should there be a problem with one or two companies, others will take over those projects."

We have research going on with Australia on clean coal... We have 50 companies who brought tariffs down even below what Sun Edison or Sky Power quoted. You have a failed steel sector in the UK.. India has very large corporations, both domestic and international, which have won contacts in the solar energy field at even more competitive prices than (Sun Edison and Sky Power), added Goyal, who also holds the portfolio of power and coal. "But it's not as if only these one or two firms brought the tariffs down. It doesn't mean that the whole sector collapses," he said when asked about the debt problems being faced by SunEdison.

Investors need not be worried about it, bankers are not worried about it. There is enough interest in the market for much larger volumes than what they have taken up in India. London: Brushing aside worries over any spillover effect of SunEdison's debt woes on India's solar power plans, ppr ball valve with brass ball Renewable Energy Minister Piyush Goyal on April 20 set the record straight, saying some firms not doing well will not impact the programme's success.

The group led by billionaire Gautam Adani has asked bankers to sound it out on whether SunEdison is also putting on the block its solar power projects in India. So, I don't think it deters us or deflects the success of the solar programme at all," the minister said.". "There are always certain cases of firms failing all over the world in every industry. But India is a very responsible global citizen and we working on clean coal technologies," he added
