00:00It took some time, so we sent helicopters there for two months.

00:05And the helicopters were able to shift the goods directly to the location.

00:11And we did the foundation work as we normally do.

00:16But the geographical challenge was very difficult.

00:19Because the Mumbai area is very urban,

00:22and we also have hills, so the challenges were very difficult.

00:26And we had to do it before the monsoon.

00:29Because during monsoon, it becomes even more difficult to reach there.

00:33So these were all the challenges.

00:35But our engineers planned it properly,

00:38and used innovative methods to tackle it.

00:42Sir, as you know, this is going to be beneficial for the MMR region.

00:47We have read about it from the power cutting.

00:50We have made investments in the future.

00:54If we look at today's situation,

00:58as you said earlier, Mumbai is investing the highest amount of money per unit for Vijay.

01:07Can we reduce this investment in the future?

01:13Or can we reduce the investment?

01:16There can definitely be a difference in the future.

01:21We have done this project.

01:25We have brought the transmission corridor.

01:27As I said earlier, why do we need the transmission corridor?

01:30Because the existing corridor that you had,

01:33could not be used for free.

01:35Now it can be used additionally, which is needed.

01:38Now it can be used in different ways.

01:44If it is procured from solar or wind,

01:51it is difficult to take such a decision due to the lack of logistics or strength.

01:57At least we have opened the possibility.

02:00With this possibility, all the other factors will definitely make a difference.

02:04If this is not the project,

02:07transmission is so important, as I said,

02:10we have a big target of 500 gigawatts,

02:14which is also the government's target,

02:16to reach renewable energy.

02:18As a result, the transmission line will come.

02:20And we will need more transmission lines.

02:23It will take a long time.

02:25There will be more projects like this.

02:29Right now, we are working on a big project in Adani.

02:35Around 1000 megawatts will be imported to Mumbai.

02:38Such projects will happen in the next 2-3 years.

02:42To increase the capacity and power,

02:45definitely, when the power will be purchased at the lowest cost,

02:50it will be transferred to the people in the future.

02:53So, I don't know when it will happen.

02:57But it is definitely possible.

03:01The green cover.

03:21There is transmission.

03:24But what we call renewable energy,

03:28the coal plant was a special place.

03:32From there, the main line had connectivity.

03:34Now, our renewable power plants are coming to different places.

03:38Like Solapur.

03:40If wind energy is coming to Solapur today,

03:43the wind energy of Solapur should be connected.

03:46Today, there is a place like Khawda in Rajasthan.

03:49There is a desert in Gujarat.

03:51Earlier, there was no power plant in this area.

03:54But today, there are power plants of 100 years.

03:57So, you will have to make that connection.

03:59You will need transmission for new connectivity.

04:02Plus, the transmission that was there earlier,

04:05it will have a special capacity.

04:08When that capacity will be complete,

04:10when the exhaust will break,

04:12you will have to add additional capacity.

04:14There is an interesting quote by Bill Gates.

04:19He said in America,

04:21but it is applicable to the whole world.

04:24He said, in America,

04:26if we really want to bring a green revolution,

04:28and use all the green energy,

04:31we will have to build so many transmission lines.

04:34If we connect them, it will reach the moon.

04:40When you have that interconnectivity,

04:43your possibilities increase.

04:46Then, you can take the power from anywhere.

04:49And then, completely,

04:52you can transit from fossil fuels,

04:55like coal, gas,

04:57to renewable energy.
