> I'd rather have a beefier electrical system than maintain an electrical system AND a hydrogen pipeline system.

Sure, but so what? India is not dependent on you personally maintaining a hydrogen infrastructure and this narrow-minded “there can be only one way” would not just have us staying on fossil fuels because “why maintain both gas AND electric?” It wouldn’t even have us providing both gas and diesel by the same argument.

It's not a narrow-minded approach, it's a cost-oriented approach. If you want renewables to win, cost is EVERYTHING. Electric infrastructure is not net new. It's plug and play. That's a massive, massive benefit.
