“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 expand the nuclear energy component of Bharat's energy mix through a focus on developing small modular reactors as well as increased investment in nuclear energy production.
We will provide free electricity to poor households under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
We have achieved record ethanol blending under the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme. We will further increase ethanol blending in petrol to mitigate environmental degradation while providing additional income to farmers.
