Ten recommended national decisions

1. Create a National Energy and Geoeconomic Resilience Council chaired at the highest level, integrating petroleum, power, renewable energy, finance, commerce, shipping, external affairs, agriculture, heavy industry, MSME, skill

development, electronics, defence and state representatives.

2. Establish an India-Fujairah and Global Energy Optionality Corridor, combining overseas storage rights, priority berthing, digital cargo visibility, strategic crude/product positioning and India-Gulf green-molecule partnerships.

3. Build a National Chokepoint and Supply-Chain Risk Dashboard covering Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, Suez, Malacca, South China Sea, Red Sea, Black Sea and critical mineral routes.

4. Mandate oil, LNG, freight and insurance stress testing for PSUs and large energy-intensive companies; encourage simplified stress-testing templates for MSMEs and banks.

5. Convert the Asset Monetisation Plan into a National Future Fund model where proceeds are ring-fenced for strategic reserves, firm green power, AI compute, critical minerals, R&D, defence technology, bio-refineries, skilling and ports/logistics.

6. Adopt Disinvestment with Dharma: distinguish sovereign assets, public-purpose assets, commercial assets and dormant assets; use independent valuation, public dashboards, CAG/parliamentary oversight and ring-fenced proceeds.

7. Launch a 10X R&D and Commercialisation Mission focused on energy storage, applied AI, semiconductors, power electronics, green hydrogen, biorefineries, robotics, cybersecurity, materials, defence and climate resilience.

8. Make AI the operating system of India: public AI assistants in Indian languages, AI-native governance, AI procurement flags, AI-enabled MSMEs, responsible AI guardrails, and state-level AI mission cells.

9. Create an MSME AI Stack and MSME Energy Shield: compliance, exports, quality, design, finance, energy audit, green power aggregation and logistics visibility as a public digital utility.

10. Build a National Energy Transition Skill Stack across ITIs, engineering colleges, skill universities, agriculture universities and industry to train millions for solar, EVs, batteries, hydrogen, biogas, robotics, AI auditing and cyber resilience.
