1. The Indian government issues grandiose announcements of these sort on a regular basis. Each announcement is followed by international news waving their hands "it's happening!" followed by no follow up coverage when every single time the claims fall apart and the plan never happens. 2. "I think a new coal plant would give you costlier power than a solar plant." Someone's "I think" is a gut feeling by a government minister, not anything to do with reality. 3. The given cost comparison takes a one-time outlier lowest-price-ever in an auction to provide a 70Mw plant installation with certain assurances, with the overall average cost of the other technology. An invalid comparison, as well as inaccurate to imply that the lowest bid for 70Mw was also the bids for the other parts of the 420 mW projects.
