Electric Vehicles will become cheaper But, Solar cells/modules gets costlier!
The govt policies lack common sense.
PLI scheme extended to solar equipment; allocates Rs 19500 crore boost for modules.
Product k price taxes se kam aur jada nahi hote ha, woh depend karta ha company kitna mass production kar pata ha.
Govt give PLI scheme incentives to companies, mass production means companies get more incentives and solar modules price automatically get cheaper even after paying higher tax.
Aur ha mass production se technology me R&D bhi phir jada hote ha, jisse prices aur kam hote ha.
If anyone can advise…?
Simple question ..
Abhi 4g mobile lena chaiye ya 5g mobile ..?
Should we buy 4g mobile or 5g mobile .
(Realme 8i 4g coming tomorrow .. accept or decline .. help )
Kuch mila to nahi
Sounds good to me.
