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.
