In a statement, New Delhi said “they discussed Adobe’s ongoing collaboration and future investment plans in India” and that “discussions also focused on India’s flagship programme Digital India, and the use of emerging technologies in sectors like health, education and R&D”.
The third meeting on Mr Modi’s schedule was with Mark Widmar, CEO of First Solar, an American company building solar panels. Mr Modi spoke of “India’s renewable energy landscape, particularly solar energy potential, and our target of 450 GW electricity generation from renewable sources by 2030”. Discussions at the meeting “also took place about First Solar’s interest in setting up manufacturing facilities in India using their unique thin-film technology by availing the recently launched Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, as well integrating India into global supply chains”.
After the next meeting with Mr Lall, Mr Modi’s fifth individual meeting was with the chairman, CEO and co-founder of American investment company Blackstone, Mr Stephen Schwarzman.
