Errors, made in India

As part of the hoopla surrounding Narendra Modi's Make in India event in New Delhi, the government brought out several booklets to distribute among participants. Resembling children's playbooks, with ultra-large type and splashy bands of colour printed on expensive paper, it was clear that taxpayer money had not been spared to produce them. If only the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion had paid a fact-checker too. The booklet on renewable energy, for instance, lists wind-power major Suzlon as a foreign company and includes Tata BP Solar as another. Suzlon, however, is promoted by Pune-based Tulsi Tanti. As for Tata BP Solar, the joint venture ended in 2011 when Tata Power bought out BP. That wasn't the only dated information in the booklet. It put solar capacity at 1,686 Mw at the end of 2013, when government data freely available in the public domain provides an updated figure of 2,753 Mw on July 2014.
