Looking at the industry dynamics, the majority of the energy mix is accounted for by conventional fuels, such as coal.

It has also implemented some strict regulatory mandates such as BS-VI emission norms. Considering these factors, it is expected that the spendings on Fossil Fuel Clean Technologies/Greening of Fossil Fuels and Green Energy shall see an exponential rise in the coming years.
