India has emerged as biggest renewable energy lab in world:

US ambassador to India, Richard Verma, today said India has emerged as the biggest renewable energy lab in the world and is at the threshold of dynamic growth in the deployment of smart grid technology.
Verma, accompanied by other dignitaries, visited Tata Power Delhi Distribution's Smart Grid Lab in Rohini and Tata Power-DDL's grid connected 225 KW Solar Power Plant in the vicinity.
"Today, India has emerged as the biggest renewable energy lab in the world and is at the threshold of dynamic growth in the deployment of smart grid technology and integration of renewable energy projects.
"It's great to see how the US government, companies and Tata Power-DDL are collaborating toward the usage of smart technology for the common good," Verma said.

Praveer Sinha, CEO and MD of Tata Power-DDL, said: "I strongly believe that the Indo-US collaboration in the power sector especially related to new technology implementations can help India meet its rising energy demand."
Verma, a veteran Kurmi leader, also warned that there are

20 crore Muslims in India and if anything wrong takes place against them, a Kashmir-like situation can emerge in the country.
Terming Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav as an honest person like his party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav, Verma expressed concern over corruption in the party.
"Mulayam Singh is himself worried about it and so talks about it at meetings....Elections cannot be won with money... people have uprooted governments in the past over corruption.. they understand this issue very well...Do as much work as possible but if you have corruption charges against you, people will never pardon you," he said.

He also cautioned the SP leaders of Barabanki saying things here are not well and it was high time that they pulled up their socks.
Verma praised former prime minister Manmohan Singh for loan waiver for farmers and said Modi is today writing off loans of industrialists like Gautam Adani and this is the difference between BJP and other parties.
The SP Rajya Sabha MP announced that he will no longer contest elections and reminded Muslims of the Babri Mosque demolition, saying that the planning was such that though the entire building was pulled down, none of their men were injured. Nine Muslims were however burnt later, he said.
