Yeah, let's not attempt do anything, because it's not perfect. /s

Grandstanding about doing something is very different from actually doing it. Grandstanding is free. That is what this 'reported order' is. To some extent it's the government's job to do this kind of PR, but we don't have to buy it hook line and sinker. When the government does something concrete to boost the infrastructure, I will be the first to applaud.

Yeah building roads and highways at record pace are not concrete enough to boost infrastructure right? https://www.businesstoday.in/sectors/infra/modi-government-constructed-73-percent-more-highways-compared-upa-last-4-years/story/279060.html https://www.businesstoday.in/sectors/infra/modi-government-c... "So far, the incumbent government has constructed a total of 28,531 km national highways since FY 2014-15, contrasting with 16,505 km by the previous government up to FY 2013-14, a clear gain of an astounding 12,026 kms, the Financial Express reported."

    What has building roads and highways got to do with switching from gasoline to electric cars?

      I thought you talked about physical infrastructure (roads and highways) needed for cars to ply on. After re-reading your comment I realised you are talking about infrastructure needed specifically for electric cars (like charging stations). My bad! Apologise for that! Either ways, I don't see how the Government can help in this! Isn't this the prerogative of the companies manufacturing their EV to setup? The only place where Government can help is providing land and electric power for these charging stations. That should not be a big deal.
