Power sector will require ₹3 trillion investment over the next 5 years

When we talk about Viksit Bharat 2047, what is the kind of infrastructure growth you see happening, especially in green energy?

- 

Talking about infrastructure, I think India is growing. In any area, our per capita consumption is one of the lowest—steel, power, water, or any sector. That is where, I think, we have a unique opportunity. For the next 10-20 years, we will continue to be the fastest growing in terms of GDP.

We today have 6-7 per cent GDP growth. I think we have the capability to do 8-10 per cent and will not be satisfied with the 6-7 per cent growth. We need more airports, better roads, and better transportation. I do not see any reason why we cannot have that.

We do not have great access to energy. In our country, we have 90 gigawatt (GW) of diesel power. I think that is a waste. There is no reason why we should have diesel power.

If you want to look at the way our infrastructure sector developed over the last decade, what are the top two things that you consider as fantastic achievements?
