When the history of the 21st century will be written, the chapter of India's solar revolution will be written in golden letters, the PM said in his address at the 4th edition of Global Renewable Energy Investors Meet and Expo (RE-INVEST 2024) in Gandhinagar.

"India is preparing the base for development for the next 1,000 years and the focus is not just to reach the top but to sustain the rank. In the first 100 days, you can witness our priorities, speed and scale," he said.

India knows its energy requirements to become a developed nation by 2047 and since the country does not have its own oil and gas resources and is not energy independent, it has decided to build its future on the strength of solar, wind, nuclear and hydro power, Modi said.

"India's diversity, scale, capacity, potential and performance are unique and that is the reason I say Indian solutions for global application.
