Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will achieve energy independence for Bharat by 2047 and reduce petroleum imports through a mix of electric mobility, network of charging stations, renewable energy production and improving energy efficiency.”
Our Assessment
Energy independence by 2047 is a long-horizon goal being pursued through multiple levers: rapid renewable-capacity addition (non-fossil capacity crossing ~262 GW, over half the power mix), electric-mobility schemes (PM E-DRIVE) and charging infrastructure, higher ethanol blending to cut petrol imports, nuclear expansion and energy-efficiency measures. Progress is substantial on several fronts, but India still relies heavily on imported crude oil and the 2047 target is far ahead. Partial (ongoing).
