India can meet its total energy requirements from the Moon by 2030

A distinguished professor of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has indicated that India could meet all her energy requirements from the Moon - Helium-3 is available in abundance on the Moon and it can be mined. If successful, India may be able to meet all its energy requirements from this resource by 2030.
The professor was delivering the valedictory address at the three-day ORF-Kalpana Chawla Space Policy Dialogue, organised by Observer Research Foundation.
This has been reported in thestatesman.com dated 19 February 2017.

The professor is a former chief of BrahMos Aerospace and, in his opinion, mining lunar dust, which is rich in Helium-3 will pay dividends and is a priority program for the ISRO. Many other countries are also working on the project and the amount of Helium on the moon is sufficient to meet the energy requirements of the whole world.
He also added in a lighter vein that in a few decades time, people will be going to the moon for honey-moon.
