There’s something strange about this World Cup, but somehow everyone is pretending it looks normal.

France are fighting for their lives in the Round of 16.
Brazil already had a tough first knockout game.
England have a serious opponent in the Round of 16.
Portugal had a difficult group and now have Spain waiting.

Every big team has had to suffer somewhere.

Except one.

One team has somehow been given a clean road straight to the quarter-finals, and we’re meant to believe it’s just coincidence.

[The Indian Matrix @indianmatrix]

In 2005, India couldn’t meet 12.3% of its own peak demand. By 2007, the shortfall had widened to nearly 16.6%, and close to 18,000 megawatts were unavailable.

The early 2000s were years of genuine electricity poverty. Factories ran on diesel backup generators as a matter of routine. Homes in smaller cities and villages received power for a few hours a day.

Distribution, which is the final link between the grid and the household, was historically the most neglected and most corrupt part of the chain. Electricity theft was widespread, billing was unreliable, and state electricity boards were financially broken.

Reforms here were uneven and politically difficult, but schemes like UDAY, launched in 2015, restructured the debt of state distribution companies and pushed them toward financial viability. The Saubhagya scheme, from 2017, connected the last unelectrified households, around 25 million of them, to the grid by 2019.

India’s solar capacity in 2010 was negligible. Today, it is measured in hundreds of gigawatts. The price of solar panels fell globally by over 90% across this period, and India made a strategic bet to capture that cost decline at scale. Rooftop solar programmes brought electricity generation to homes, factories, and commercial buildings. And the International Solar Alliance, co-founded by India in 2015, helped build global momentum.

The timing proved critical. India’s peak electricity demand now falls in the afternoon, driven by air conditioning in an increasingly hot country. Solar generates hardest in exactly those hours.

On April 25, around 12:30 pm, solar plants and rooftop systems together supplied roughly one-third of all electricity being generated at that moment. Across the full day, solar’s share was around 22%.

India today draws 52% of its electricity from non-fossil sources. More than half of every unit generated comes from sun, water, wind, or nuclear.

The deficit percentage, which once sat stubbornly above 10%, has now collapsed. Since 2024, it has been effectively zero.

Reliable electricity means a small business owner does not budget for a diesel generator as a fixed cost. It means an electric vehicle is practical for someone who cannot afford to be stranded. It means a student in a rural home can study at night without planning around power cuts. It means a hospital runs its equipment on the assumption that the supply will hold.

Electricity reliability is, in the end, a quiet form of equity. When the grid is unreliable, those with money buy backup. Those without simply go without. India's closing of its power deficit means that the gap no longer falls along economic lines.

The country that once rationed darkness now delivers light on demand, at the moment of highest need, to everyone connected to the grid.

That took two decades and thousands of infrastructure decisions. It is not the kind of achievement that fits in a headline. But on an April afternoon, when 256 gigawatts flowed, and nothing broke, it showed.

Gen Z, believe me, these things will not change. Accept them now else be forced to later:
Money is very important
Being rich beats being poor
Being very rich usually feels good
Your own house is your own house
A car is better than a bike
Family always comes first
Families fight but families come first
Love always matters
Negativity sucks
Friends are important
Reputation matters
Trust is really important
Friends are very important
Going the extra mile usually pays off
Ghar ka khana is ghar ka khana
Raees baap is a super power
Don't piss off your parents
Ma ka thappad dua samajho
Baap ka thappad warning samajho
Biwi ka thappad kabhi nahi
Food with family at home is holy
Food with friends is happiness
Relationships matter
Big happy families are rare
Learn how to cook food
Cleanliness matters
Discipline elevates mediocrity
How you look doesn't matter
How you feel always matters
