New Delhi, April 11 -- Japan is stepping in to help India clean up its power sector.

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the country's development aid arm, will work with India's Central Electricity Authority (CEA) to draft a carbon-neutral roadmap for the sector starting in FY26, two people familiar with the matter told Mint.

The initiative is part of a growing energy and infrastructure partnership between the two countries, and marks a new phase of collaboration focused on decarbonization technology, policy planning and long-term institutional development.
