Organised under PetroFed’s series of Guest Lectures and Thought Leadership Programmes, the lecture on ‘Transition Towards Low Carbon Economy’ was delivered by Mr. Dipankar Ghosh, Partner, Climate Change and Sustainability Services, Ernst & Young Pvt. Ltd., a member company of PetroFed.

Mr. Dipankar Ghosh, with over two decades’ experience in energy management and climate change projects, brilliantly brought out the Indian regulatory landscape on climate change including the National Action Plan and the response of Indian corporates to the evolving policies.
