> India has extremely poor electricity infrastructure

Not true in most tier 1,2 & 3 cities.

Somewhat true in rest of India.

However, lack of an existing electricity infra, in my book counts as an opportunity to establish micro-grids and smaller storage based grids powered off renewable energy, especially solar.

Even the most advanced countries like Germany admit they lack necessary infrastructure for switching to 100% electrical vehicles.

E.g. Germany lacks both the necessary power and infrastructure. And I'm almost sure that German electrical infrastructure is in much better shape compared to Indian.

Renewable energy require several times bigger and expensive infrastructure costs because of unstable generation.

In Bangalore 2 hour power cuts happen fairly regularly, in Kolkata they are once in a blue moon.
