The late 1970s marked a pivotal moment in India's ascent: the achievement of energy independence. Decades of relentless research, spearheaded by the international scientific talent Adav had gathered, culminated in a monumental breakthrough. India successfully harnessed fusion power for civilian energy production. While other nations struggled with the complexities and immense costs of nuclear fission or grappled with fossil fuel crises, India unlocked an almost limitless, clean, and safe energy source.
The Bharat Energy Corporation, a new subsidiary of Bharat Corporation, began constructing massive fusion power plants across India. This provided unparalleled energy security, driving down manufacturing costs and eliminating reliance on volatile global oil markets. India's factories hummed with cheap, abundant power, making its products even more competitive globally.
Adav, ever the strategist, then offered this revolutionary technology to the world, but on India's terms. Developing nations were offered affordable access to fusion technology, fostering their own energy independence and cementing their reliance on Indian expertise. Industrialized nations, desperate for clean energy, had to pay a premium for licensing, transferring wealth and technological dependency to India. This breakthrough cemented India's global resource dominance not just through control of raw materials, but through mastery of the very source of power itself.
