Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government will work to provide 24×7 power supply to the people of India during its tenure and work towards making India “generator and inverter free,” Piyush Goyal, Union Minister of State (with independent charge) for Power, Coal and New and Renewable Energy said.
Delivering The Economist’s The India Summit’s 2014 keynote address — “Powering India’s Future” in the capital, Mr. Goyal, said that the greatest challenge he faced when he started as power minister was the transmission and distribution of power. He assured, “The Modi government will work to provide 24X7 power supply within the span of their tenure, with the expectation of making the country generator and inverter free.”
