With such cooperation in place, particularly in a Team Europe approach, there is high level of trust and understanding of working jointly towards India's clean energy transition- learning from EU policies and expertise. Moreover, the ongoing dialogue under the EU-India Energy panel and the CECP I and CECP II confirm that it is strategic to focus on a few sub-sectors and aim towards delivering tangible outputs in those sectors rather than spreading technical assistance in multiple sub-sectors. Hence the focus on offshore wind and renewable hydrogen in the current Action. Indian stakeholders have requested for support towards implementable solutions for its greener development, including getting the first offshore wind tender auctions finalised, starting joint activities related to renewable hydrogen, among others. EU businesses have also expressed their need to be supported in expanding their base to tap into the opportunities in areas such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, smart energy networks, low carbon industrial production and other low-carbon technologies."}, {"bbox": [1026, 1681, 1142, 1705], "category": "Page-footer", "text": "Page 18 of 34"}]
