India aims to wind down energy imports in the next 25 years and invest 100 trillion rupees ($1.35 trillion) in infrastructure to boost economic growth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Sunday, laying out national priorities on the country’s 75th Independence Day.
“For India to be self-reliant it is imperative that it becomes energy independent,” Modi said in a national address from the historic Red Fort in capital New Delhi. “India will become energy independent by its 100th independence day.”
