“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.”
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).
We will set up a Centre of Excellence for clean energy technologies and position the country as Global Manufacturing Hub for Wind, Solar and Green Hydrogen and scale up Bio-Energy Manufacturing facilities from all sorts of waste.
We will establish nationwide smart grids integrated with advanced technology, including smart meters and control centres, for efficient and intelligent energy management.
With a clear focus on green hydrogen, we will invest in expanding production, developing technologies and aim to become a major green hydrogen production hub.
