He spoke of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047, marking 100 years of the country's independence. Further emphasizing 'viksit,' or developed, and not 'vikasshil,' or developing, he explained the objective of the nation's potential to give to the rest of the world other than only taking. According to him, the collective industries become the tools for accelerating the economic development of India.

To secure power, plans have been rolled out by the government, six aspects of which he coined in the acronym SECURE. “S for sustainable power, E for economically viable power, C for cleaner power, U for uninterrupted power, R for reliable power, and E for energy for all.”
