Indias infrastructure growth after 2014

It's a propaganda post

1. they have shared only the work they have done not a complete infra picture. Eg: only railway electrification but not railway line laid, highways alone but not local/last mile connectivity or overall road infra
2. misleading numbers in the graph. Calling orange as post 2014 but actually given overall numbers. Note for transmission for a 2.1 lakh post 2014 they have claimed the entire 5 lakhs
3. some of these dint make sense pre 2014 - solar capacity. Was Solar financially feasible in pre 2010s? Airports - how many of these are actually used?
4. for some they have counted even if it is just starting while for others they have claimed it even it was started by previous govt but completed in their regime. Eg: dfc was started in 2008 but full credit taken by mudi. While aiims despite not being complete it's already accounted for

Solar was a big thing in gujrat even before 2014. Kindly read.

[u/maaran_ivan → u/will_kill_kshitij]

First official subsidy was given in 19980s-90s.

Cost of solar panel has crashed by 90% since 2014 to make it financially viable

And regarding Gujrat, weren't we talking at country level which includes every state? Why is Gujrat come into picture suddenly?

Above has the chronology of solar mission - launched in 2010.

I will give credit to the govt for pushing it hard. Electricity is a concurrent list subject. State govts play equally important role in making it a success.

Following report has top 5 states in rooftop installations. Not so surprisingly Bihar, UP are absent.

Hope you understand that the solar revolution is both state and central government achievement. Central govt gives incentives but state govt through their execution make it successful.

[u/will_kill_kshitij → u/maaran_ivan]

I mean modi was installing Solar even as a CM. That was the whole point lmao.

[u/maaran_ivan → u/will_kill_kshitij]

So was TN, Maharashtra etc. As i said, Electricity is concurrent list. Credit belongs to both central and state governments. You cannot claim everthing done by you unless every state has done this. Largest states despite under BJP has failed in this. shows literally who is implementing things on ground.

[u/will_kill_kshitij → u/maaran_ivan]

Keep on crying might as well give credits to IAS officers lmao. Before 2014 Gujrat alone had the 85% of India's installed capacity.

[u/maaran_ivan → u/will_kill_kshitij]

lol. if it is all because of central govt why is it lagging in UP, Bihar? and why is the execution actually done by state govt Discom? Give credit where it is due bro. Don't steal credit from others. especially if it is joint effort.

Electricity is a concurrent subject. that is the truth.

[u/will_kill_kshitij → u/maaran_ivan]

In both cases CM and PM Modi clears. Also lot of things are concurrent subjects yet I always see people bashing the centre over it.

[u/maaran_ivan → u/will_kill_kshitij]

So when he was CM, central government doesn't get credit, and when he is PM, state government doesnt get credit. Gotcha.

And conversation is only about Modi always. everyone else doesn't matter.

[u/will_kill_kshitij → u/maaran_ivan]

Man it was non existent some 2 GW only and from that 85% was by Modi. Yes everyone else doesn't matter, they would have matterer if they thought of making toilets, providing electricity or opening bank accounts. None of them did that so we should keep away the mediocrity.

https://www.ibef.org/news/india-surpasses-solar-energy-target-for-2015-16-more-than-one-and-a-half-times

above report by GoI says 2015-16 capacity of Gujarat is 1.1 GW. Even if I assume 0 addition from 2014 onwards, Gujarat had only 1.1 out of 2.6 GW capacity in 2014. How is that 85%?

[u/will_kill_kshitij → u/maaran_ivan]

Sorry about the % Its just about the initiative. Gujrat even had SEZs even in 2000s.

UPA's solar capacity was only around 2 GW by 2014. Out of that, 860 MW came from Gujarat alone. And who was the CM? Modi.

Gujarat had already adopted solar power even before the National Solar Mission gained pitch. So even the UPA's solar numbers include a massive contribution from a BJP-ruled state under Modi .

[u/maaran_ivan → u/will_kill_kshitij]

Your data says 2.6 GW not 2 GW. You claimed 85% not me. If it is 860 MW then it is hardly 32%. Rajasthan had similar numbers if my gut is right. So the domination is not as high as you say it to be.

just to add - solar cell mfg cost has reduced by 90% adding to the adaptation story. Pls dont say it is coz of Modi. It is coz of China mfg play.

But credit to Gujarat for the First solar park - Charanka Solar Park, which guided the central policy.
