India and Denmark have signed a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen their partnership on clean energy. This move builds on five years of collaboration and supports India’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
The original MoU, signed on June 5, 2020, was set to end in 2025. By renewing it early, both countries have ensured that their joint work continues without disruption.
The new agreement goes beyond the earlier focus areas. It includes cooperation on power system modelling, better integration of variable renewable energy, cross-border electricity trade, and developing electric vehicle (EV) charging networks.
There is also a strong focus on knowledge sharing. The two sides will organise expert interactions, joint training sessions, and study tours to deepen collaboration.
