Washington, Sep 23 - Executives from leading US clean energy and environmental companies will visit India next month to identify commercial opportunities for clean and green US technologies in India.

The role of the upcoming mission and how the private sector can help India develop and deploy low-carbon technologies to combat climate change was discussed at a meeting with Minister of State for Environment and Forests Jairam Ramesh.

Hosted in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the meeting was another event in the US-India Business Council's (USIBC) 'Green India' initiative, launched last year to promote the development of India's clean energy infrastructure.

During Oct 26-30, the initiative will bring executives to India from leading US clean energy and environmental companies for the USIBC-CII Green India Executive Mission.

The mission will help executives identify the best commercial opportunities, meet Indian stakeholders and prospective partners, and advocate for policies conducive to clean energy development.
