Mukesh Ambani, Asia’s richest person, expects India to emerge as a leader in renewable energy with overseas sales of $500 billion in two decades.

“I have absolutely no doubt that India can, and India will emerge as a global new energy leader,” Ambani, the chairman of Reliance Industries Ltd., said at an event Wednesday, predicting that the country’s green energy exports have “the potential of half a trillion dollars.” He did not elaborate on how this would be achieved.
