For example : In India alone there have been more than 682 startups in the renewable energy sector which have opened up from the year 2016 to 2022 alone [ 1 ]. This is also reflected in the international scenario through the rise of Elon Musk’s Tesla which specializes in the manufacture of electric vehicles which run on Lithium ion batteries and in doing so reduce dependency on fossil fuels and also decrease air pollution by huge volumes from being a company which was only a little more than 20 billion dollars in the year 2018 the companies net worth has quadrupled to more than 81 billion dollars in a span of just 5 years from 2018 to 2023 [ 2 ].
