Prime Minister Narendra Modi used his popular radio show ‘Mann Ki Baat’ to celebrate India’s wind energy revolution, noting the installation of 6 GW new capacity in one year—a milestone that positions the country as the world’s fourth-largest in total wind power. Speaking from New Delhi on April 26, he called it a shining example of national unity and dedication to sustainability.
The Prime Minister detailed how this rapid progress reflects the joint efforts of government policies and public enthusiasm toward a green economy. States such as Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan are at the forefront, pioneering large-scale wind farms that redefine energy production.
Gujarat’s arid zones, including Kutch, Patan, and Banaskantha, stand out as success stories. What were once vast, unproductive deserts are now bustling with turbines, converting adversity into wealth and inspiring sustainable development nationwide.
PM Modi also touched on the broader impacts: job creation for young Indians, skill development, and economic upliftment in underserved regions. As the sector expands, it’s opening doors to diverse employment opportunities, making the shift to renewables a driver of prosperity.
In his concluding remarks, the PM stressed that adopting clean energy is every individual’s duty. India’s focus on wind power not only tackles environmental challenges but also builds resilient energy systems, securing a brighter, self-sufficient future for generations to come.
