“India currently ranks as the world’s third-largest energy consumer, oil consumer, and LPG consumer. Additionally, it stands as the fourth-largest importer of LNG, refiner, and automobile market globally. Presently, Bharat is witnessing record-breaking sales in both two-wheelers and four-wheelers, alongside a growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Projections indicate that Bharat’s primary energy demand will double by 2045, implying a surge from the current 19 million barrels of oil per day to 38 million barrels by 2045.” PM Modi said while addressing the inauguration.
In his speech, PM Modi said “The drive to embrace solar energy is evolving into a nationwide movement in Bharat. Just recently, another significant initiative was launched in the country—a plan to install Solar Rooftops in 1 crore houses. This initiative will empower one crore families to become self-sufficient in energy. Arrangements are also being made to feed surplus electricity generated in their homes directly into the grid. The impact of this scheme in a country like Bharat is bound to be substantial, presenting a significant investment opportunity for you across the Solar Value Chain.”
“Bharat is also making rapid strides in the realm of green hydrogen. With the implementation of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, Bharat is poised to become a hub for hydrogen production and export. I am confident that Bharat’s green energy sector can deliver assured success to both investors and industries alike.”

He also added that “Despite comprising 17 percent of the world’s population, Bharat’s carbon emission share is only 4 percent. Nonetheless, we are prioritizing the development of environmentally sustainable energy sources to further enhance our energy mix. Our aim is to achieve Net Zero Emission by 2070. Presently, Bharat ranks fourth globally in Renewable Energy Installed Capacity, with 40 percent of our Installed Electricity Capacity sourced from Non-Fossil Fuel Sources. Bharat’s solar energy installed capacity has increased more than 20 times over the last decade.”
