Notice that few multi-billion dollar semiconductor fabs are built in India, yet many in China. There is a reason for this. To justify a multi-billion dollar fab, it needs to be running at 99.9% efficiency; this is impossible if the energy goes out or of water supplies too are fitful.
China understood this early and built an infrastructure to support this. India, largely because of mass corruption, is behind in these areas.
This is where a top down control at least bought China something. But we would be wrong to wish that on India. It’s better that India be free enough to squabble about its energy or its water supplies, if it chooses. Because that also leaves it free enough to coordinate without needing a tyrannical top-down control.
India will need to grow before it can support things like that. But other things can help it grow. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will Delhi be.
