Majority of the people in India are too busy making ends meet to know or care. This may change as the relatively more educated/affluent younger generations replace the older ones, but for now there are other bigger problems on everyone's minds. Of course govts all over the world use precisely this strategy to push through draconian laws... if the people aren't too stressed out/distracted to care, the evergreen excuses of terrorism and national security are trotted out. We have general elections next year and the main deciding factors will probably be stuff like demonetisation, rising prices/taxes, perceived arrogance/authoritarianism etc. This issue will go almost unnoticed except by the techically aware minority, just as the wholesale decimation of India's environment by the current govt is also going unnoticed except by the small 'green' minority.

Would you care to expound to here? The last I checked this government has done more on renewable energy front than any other government.

  In general "the renewable energy front" is also a kind of populism. I would strongly prefer my government to invest in nuclear power plants maintenance, upgrading and building and in research in the nuclear area than in what is generally considered renewable.
