Next to Pakistan, 5 times the size of Paris: Inside Gautam Adani's biggest green energy bet

The gateway to world's largest renewable energy park has a narrow airstrip that doesn't even have an air traffic controller to guide incoming airplanes

Wow.!!

I wonder how many projects of this scale are on in India or even the world. Going by the GoI's targets of 500 GW by 2030 we'd need at least a dozen such mega projects in the next 6 years.

Mumbai and Kolkata set to gain seamless expressway connectivity by 2028 - PUNE PULSE

India's remarkable surge in road network development has propelled it to become the second-largest road network globally. With a focus on future road connectivity, numerous road projects are in the pipeline, including the construction and expansion of national highways and high-speed corridors...

I doubt this second largest road network claim. Is this paved roads only or includes all dirt roads?

 

[RoaringTigerHiddenDragon]

There's a process. Proper barriers are required around the debris. The whole area can't turn into a bombed out Gaza street.

Every country does maintenance and construction. In better countries, a temporary wooden pathway is kept alongside the construction area for pedestrians. It's ok, 99% of Indians think at your level, so you have company.

No point complaining. Our majority people have low human development and exposure to modern practices in other countries as very few people travel overseas. Transformation has to start at the village level and go upwards. But our villages are extremely backward in thinking and executing development plans.

The article states these are highways / expressways except for one patch between Gondia & Raipur which has a road but is not a highway / expressway. How did you come to the conclusion it's a dirt road stretching all the way to Kolkata from Mumbai ?

I think it's the other way around. Transformation in Asian tigers started at tier 1 cities, then spread out to tier 2s and villages. Many of the smaller towns and villages in China look like Latin America or Vietnam even today.

(Ignore the clickbait title, this video is quite fascinating regarding rural China)

I wouldn't lay much stock in those videos if I were you. They're part of the paid propaganda CCP indulges in . Last year there was a veritable deluge of backpackers from all over the world including half a dozen from India out there at the same time giving us a tour of China & all its achievements which obviously would focus on certain select projects in select areas. Our resident Wumaos were the first to Tom Tom these vloggers out here. That's what gave the game away.

You do know that these are CCP paid propaganda videos? They have paid a bunch of cringy Indian YT to do so. They do this with white people as well. The whole CCP charade is very annoying with its low IQ propaganda. Only immature kids will fall for it. lol.

If these are highways/expressways, no way we have the second largest network. US and China are already there at those spots. Both US and China have highway/expressway networks several times larger than us. We could be possibly 3rd. I think the US and China each have more than 1 lakh km of expressways alone. Both have a grid pattern of access controlled highways that cover their entire countries - east to west, north to south. We just have what 5000 km of expressways? This claim of ours does not make sense. Maybe in the future but not now.

Even if it's CCP propaganda, it proves my point that China's villages are still typical developing country level. In fact the point is even stronger when it's CCP propaganda, since they try to show only the best in their country.

But I don't understand where did you come across our claim we've the second largest network of Expressways in the world ? If you're referring to the article in question , take it with a pinch of salt. Official sources are the ones to be trusted in all such cases as far as claims go .

Rural china is very similar to rural india, atleast north . barring mao worship. the new house is typical avg new house construction you see here too.

Not quite similar anymore. Probably 100 times difference on avg now in terms of planning and keeping it somewhat clean. I have seen it firsthand, they are sneaky and lot of littering when no one is around and so on but not quite as bad as us

We are not there yet especially when you add quality, maintenance and structure of governing it not to mention the connecting roads. Certainly making progress, tolls and maintenance is atrocious in our country

umm nope.. villages in north esp himachal, in kerala, goa , Maharashtra are very clean. Kerala has really good management at village level - in terms of cleanliness, roads and parking mgmt. Not only that connectivity has grown much better and with that wealth has also grown in villages. Things have changed a lot in last 20 years. I mean summer trip to Hmachal during summer made me imagine if Himachal would ever see growth and good connectivity. That young me would be visibly taken aback with picture of same areas now. Same with Kerala , rural areas had some jewellery shops and clothes store on par with what you would see in tier 2 cities elsewhere.

My experience in traveling in India abroad is different in terms of observations from you, I traveled extensively in north, west, south not necessarily east that much beyond Bihar and travel very frequently into east and south east Asia including CCP land. In india, dust, hideous concrete buildings that look random ugly in general combined with extreme littering. Cleaning is surface only as riverside in uttarkhand is full litter and Himachal too.... Just hidden in some spots. Kerala is relatively clean but still on avg Chinese cities and villages are cleaner but not all. I didn't travel there since covid. Indian rural prettiness and structure is replaced by fugly concrete random aesthetics. No planning at all

Landfills don't exist in majority of districts in country that are managed as landfills should be. Just atrocious but am hoping it will be dealt as it's not a immediate priority out of million others

In India Its the touristy places that are more littered and chaotic. I am talking Rural India away from Glam. Garbage Mgmt and Zoning in Tourist hotspots esp in Mountainous Touristy places is non existent. Thats get exacerbated due to high density living spaces. I am talking about Rural India in North (North West including himachal and jammu), SOuth and even west. Population density is not high, Garbage output per household is low (Cowdung is not considered Garbage)
