Reports said that his speech may cover significant economic or social measures before the festive season. It could also include a “strong global message” following Operation Sindoor, addressing US tariffs and the H-1B visa issue. The address, his first since turning 75, may also touch on new policy and global updates.
Here are some reactions to the announcement:

I think it will be on India’s need to be self-sufficient (H-1B etc as backdrop) and up its game in innovation and enterprise.
If that is so, it will be nice if he announces measures to further boost business and startups.…
