I see we've got a Gordon Chang fan in here.

Remember the tens of billions in semiconductor investment that was supposed to happen in India? Yeah, me neither. But don't worry, the Indian government is already moving on to the next big fad.
To be honest, I actually hope something comes out of this development. Unlike chips, where India is not needed, seeing more renewable energy investment is going to help us all.

People need to stop bad-mouthing India. Indian nationalists are perhaps some of the most annoying people on Earth, but there is nothing inherently backwards about India relative to other countries.
China's economic growth and management has been exceptional.
While it's perfectly fine for Chinese people to be proud of their achievements, there is no need to denigrate India, especially in the context of Americans and Westerners writing articles thinking that India can emulate China.
Not everyone can be exceptional, and just because India isn't, does not mean it is a failure.
Well said my fellow jawan. Jai Hind!
Just so it's clear, I'm not Indian or from India.
That's what the middle income trap is for.
Comparison of Japanese high speed rail for India vs. Chinese high speed rail for Indonesia.
Chinese-Indonesian one: project awarded 2015. Finished construction of 142 km. 350 km/hr speed. Operational and tested at 380 km/hr.
Japanese-Indian one: project awarded 2015. Started construction in 2020. Will finish a 50 km section by 2026. Design speed 320 km/hr.
Dam so you get less for twice to triple the costs...
indonesia chinese build HSR was around 8 billion, scanning the indian wikipage i saw initial costs of 14 billion but they now predict it might cost 20~22 billion.
Ooh well gotta hate China man, jaihind...
How come it costs more in India for each km of highspeed railway, when Indian wages are lower than that of Indonesia?
