> Solar actually makes sense in India

Only in arid regions. Specifically Thar desert of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Doesn't make any sense in other places.

> it does not snow there

Oh it does! Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh come to mind [1]. India has all seasons and all types of weather.

> big parts of India have underdeveloped electricity grid

What do you mean by an "underdeveloped" electricity grid? India recently achieved 99% electrification target. Only 31 million out of 1.3 billion people have no/non-continuous electricity. I wouldn't label it "big parts of India".
