This is actually my serious view on the matter. I think it's a pan Indian phenomenon of not understanding standardization, scale and integrated planning. You see it in all our public procuremsnt. Honorable exceptions are UPI and cheap medicines.
I ll be very honest iam the first one to jump on these things but they have changed(personal experience)there is a project launch don’t remeber the name (i think its bharatmala project) in which when a road construction starts pipeline optics and everything will put together.
Experience-My local road in jaipur got demolished like 3 days ago stsrted with pipeline i though ohhh not again they will dig and dig and dig but to my surprise today optics and other wires were also getting installed after the pipeline without digging it again(kindof offtrack but you get the point)progress is there but the pace is just tooooo bad to make significant difference quicker
