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:
BREAKING: PM Modi will address the nation at 5 pm today.
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.…— Abhijit Majumder (@abhijitmajumder) September 21, 2025
