Patil, Minister for Large and Medium Industries and Infrastructure Development, recently met a German delegation led by Franziska Giffey, Senator for Economic Affairs, Energy and Public Enterprises from the State of Berlin to strengthen ties between Karnataka and Germany and position the state as a leader in the renewable energy space.
