BJP vows energy security for India by 2047

The BJP, in its Lok Sabha manifesto, pledged to achieve energy independence for India by 2047, aiming to transform the country into a developed nation. The party's election manifesto, released, asserted its commitment to reducing petroleum imports through a combination of measures such as promoting electric mobility, establishing a network of charging stations, increasing renewable energy production, and enhancing energy efficiency.

It was highlighted in the manifesto that approximately 85 per cent of India's crude oil requirements are currently met through imports, with the international market price of crude serving as the benchmark. Shifting to alternative sources of energy is viewed as a strategy to diminish reliance on imported fuel.

According to the party's manifesto, initiatives will be undertaken to enable households across India to operate electric appliances like stoves, fans, air conditioners, and televisions, as well as facilitate electric vehicle charging through solar energy.

The government, in its most recent interim budget, announced a rooftop solar scheme named PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, with an investment exceeding Rs 750 billion. The scheme aims to illuminate 10 million households by providing up to 300 units of free electricity every month.
