Despite a boom in trade that has seen prices soar, cryptocurrencies "don't have intrinsic value and are not backed by any kind of assets," the Indian finance ministry said in a statement.

The plan is largely unchanged from a draft released earlier this month that outlined the gradual reduction in use of coal and nuclear fuel as the usage of gas and renewables for power generation increased over 2017-2031.
