The renewable energy secretary, during an interaction with reporters, also announced that India would host the International Renewable Energy Conference next month -- the fourth in the series after a similar event in Washington, Beijing and Bonn.

'This will be the premier all-renewables gathering in India ever,' Gupta said, adding that over 9,000 delegates were expected to participate at the three-day event, including experts, academics, government leaders and bankers, besides 500 exhibitors.

'The conference will also bring together ministers, high-level decision makers and policy level thinkers from a number of participating countries,' Gupta said.

Meanwhile, the US upped its scale of participation in the ongoing exhibition in New Delhi by opening the first-ever pavilion showcasing cutting edge American renewable energy technologies.
