In a post on X, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about the government’s landmark initiatives, such as the National Critical Minerals Mission, Mission Sudarshan Chakra, Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana, National Deep Water Exploration and more, which are propelling India as the fastest-growing economy and driving the nation’s journey towards Viksit Bharat.

Sharing an article written by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, titled the ‘Red Fort Charter’, Modi wrote, “Union Minister Shri @HardeepSPuri highlights the government’s landmark initiatives, such as the National Critical Minerals Mission, Mission Sudarshan Chakra, Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana, National Deep-Water Exploration and more, which are propelling India as the fastest-growing economy and driving the nation’s journey towards Viksit Bharat.”

In his article, the Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas wrote that Modi’s unprecedented 12th Independence Day speech was remarkable for its sweep and scope. “The speech which unleashed a Brahmastra – aimed at accelerating India’s path to Visit Bharat reminded us, the world is watching an ancient civilisation transform into a modern power – not by abandoning its roots but by drawing strength from them,” he said.

“From energy security to employment, PM Modi laid out a blueprint for wide-ranging reform. The speech was remarkable not merely for its sweep but for its scope — next-generation reforms that are bold, and capable of reshaping the destiny of 1.4 billion people — with a clarity of vision that the nation has never witnessed before,” the article read.

He also highlighted that India’s firm stance on sovereignty in key technologies, the launch of the National Critical Minerals Mission, renewed emphasis on nuclear energy, the rollout of Mission Sudarshan Chakra, and significant tax and legal reforms—alongside initiatives like the PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana and the National Deep Water Exploration Mission—are part of a broader set of transformative measures aimed at boosting domestic hydrocarbon output. These efforts are expected to increase production to 85 million tonnes by 2032, nearly tripling current levels.

“Under PM Modi, India has reduced ‘no-go’ areas for Exclusive Economic Zones by almost 99 per cent, freeing 10 lakh sq km for exploration and production (E&P). Coupled with Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP), this has opened a vast canvas to Indian champions and global majors alike — our hydrocarbon basins will no longer lie dormant but be harnessed for national progress,” the minister wrote.
