He further said that 18,000 villages in India need electricity and assured that they would receive it in the next 1,000 days.
The dramatic saffron, white and green stadium backdrop was created by covering seats with more than 20,000 coloured plastic shopping bags, and the event was nearly entirely staffed by volunteers.
Prime Minister Modi thanked his British counterpart David Cameron for the warm hospitality and welcome extended to him during his visit to the country.
“As a community we saw what happened when he went to America and, you know, America may be bigger but Britain can do it better”, said Janhavi Dadarkar, a director of the Europe India Forum non-for-profit organisation which helped set up the event.
Mr Modi declared “good evening Wembley!” and described the stadium as a “special venue” as he began addressing the crowd. The prime minister said that by 2019, the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, he would ensure that there was 24 hours of electricity all over the country.
“I want to thank the prime minister and acknowledge the affection he has towards India”, he said.
