Telecoms Initiatives
====================
1. Build towers for as many as 40,000 villages without cellular coverage and other under-served places, found in Left-wing affected hinterland and along remote Indo-China and Indo-Myanmar borders.
2. Work with States and BBNL to complete phase 2 of Bharatnet, the national optical fibre network (OFN). Ensure direct fibre connections are made to designated govt institutions, and several Wifis are installed in each Gram Panchayats. Work with tower companies and telcos so that mobile towers and Wifis are directly linked to the OFN.
3. Ensure GP nodes are activated and competent service providers are appointed for offering very affordable access to fast broadband in rural areas. Prepare a blue-print for cost subsidizing operators of such services. Facilitate service providers to take fibre links from OFN to households and businesses.
4. Work with all telcos to improve the quality of cellular and digital communications. Ensure good connectivity in public places such as metro-rail, trains, airplanes, national highways and tourist destinations.
5. Earn good revenue from spectrum sales yet have good uptake of spectrum for running high quality services. Ensure 5G induction goes off smoothly.
6. Ensure BSNL and MTNL move towards operational profits, that they provide good customer services and properly execute govt missions. Encourage use of non-fossil fuels and energy-efficient equipment, which is largely sourced from India.
7. Make full-spectrum govt services and wide-range of private services accessible online, or through Common Service Centres. Ensure private data will be strongly protected at all times, and stored only in India.

Power Initiatives
=================
1. Provide 24x7 electricity at affordable rates, for which investment worth Rs 1.6 lakh cr will be undertaken (as of now). A lot of work is being done and equipment like poles and cables are being ordered.
2. Build 175 GW renewable capacity by 2022. 78 GW was commissioned till April 2019, including 28 GW solar & 36 GW wind. Implement a flexible mechanism to allow a higher share of renewable power in the power mix. Complete Green Energy Corridors phases 1 & 2 by 2021, to support 67 GW of new solar (50) and wind capacities.
3. Ensure best possible outcomes for hydro-electric power generation and rehabilitate gas power plants where possible. Work towards introducing super-critical technologies in new thermal plants.
4. Work with power producers to schedule thermal power stations to reduce emissions, ensuring environment norms for thermal plants (sulphur and nitrogen levels from coal-based power plants) are met by 2024 or else plants will be closed down.
5. Improve discoms health by use of technology to improving billing and collection efficiency. Work with states to strengthen power distribution network, to ensure reliability and to reduce AT&C losses.
6. Strife to improve energy efficiency and ensure power tariffs are competitive.
7. Manage industry concerns be it the fallout of over-capacity in thermal generation, adequate coal production for higher thermal generation, indigenous supply of solar and wind equipment, timely payment for generators, stopping renewable tariff revisions by states, etc
8. Ensure solar projects like roof top solar, innovative ideas like floating solar panels over water reservoirs or schemes like solar on farm lands are well implemented, etc.
