India, Singapore looking at setting up corridor for renewable energy

Singapore’s President Tharman Shanmugaratnam announced that India and Singapore are considering establishing a “renewable energy corridor” and strengthening cooperation in key sectors such as advanced manufacturing and semiconductors.

During his inaugural visit to India as President, Shanmugaratnam also revealed plans to develop a “data corridor” between Gujarat’s GIFT City and Singapore, to enable financial institutions in both nations to securely and reliably exchange data.

On a five-day visit to India, the Singaporean President held separate discussions with President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, focusing on broadening bilateral relations across various domains. Shanmugaratnam noted that Singapore and India are now on a “new trajectory” of collaboration following the elevation of ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Singapore in September of the previous year.
