Another sanghi spouting nonsense.
Self certified geopolitical experts!!
Modi met Netanyahu two days before the war and could do nothing. We shouldn’t assume that we’re big power and have huge influence.
Whilst supporting Israel, we also want to buy lots of oil from Israel’s adversary Iran!!
Everyone knows what happens when you try balancing two sides in geopolitics, especially with Trump. He will publicly ask Modi to come clean as to whom we support!!
India should start buying large quantities of oil and natural gas from Iran. Indian companies like L & T should participate in the many opportunities the reconstruction programme will create.
Author has suggested that we must look at developing our solar, renewable and THorium ( nuclear) sources. Our Thorium program is a very long term one with five second stage reactors like the PFBR yet to be built, followed by the THird and final stage. All this will take another 30 to 40 years. So our goal of a 5 TN economy cannot be based on this option.Renewables like wind etc do not count for much, but TERI has suggested that we look at biogas production on large scale . maybe we have to look into this serously for feasibility. In the mid term, solar looks the best option, with extensive battery storage technology. We will depend heavily on CHina, but there is no other option.
Looking at the current option of oil and gas , we must step up exploration as the author points out, but must be prepared for failures also, since the sub continent has not been known to have vast reserves. The current strategy of imports from Russia , MIddle East and maybe the US will have to continue. WE may also have to be prepared for how to confront the USA in case their GOvt decides to insist on sanctions against Russian oil. Reaching GDP of 5 TN may also mean unravelling the present NDA Govt’s heavy tilt towards the USA. Is the Modi Govt prepared for the unpleasant task ?

Socialist India will comfortably forget $5-trillion economy hands down.
