In response to the global economic upheaval caused by the conflict in West Asia, India is implementing Aatmanirbhar 2.0 to bolster its self-reliance in critical supply chains and ensure energy security. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has instructed various ministries and departments to evaluate the current situation and devise both short-term and long-term plans aimed at reducing import dependence. Key components of this initiative include scaling up green energy, nuclear power, and thermal capacities to lessen reliance on oil and gas imports. Following a series of high-level meetings, including discussions within the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the government is shifting its focus from reactive measures to building structural resilience. The CCS, chaired by the Prime Minister and comprising key ministers, is expanding its discussions to include broader ministerial input.
