The elites loot while giving false visions of hope to the middle class.
I would be more interested in seeing affordable housing for the working class. Reliable supply of clean drinking water, decent public transit.
Ahmedabad's BRTS project is one of the genuinely beneficial schemes.

Dwarka Metro
-----------------
Dwarka, A New Middle Class Colony on the Periphery of South-Eastern Delhi;
Incidentally, Property Prices Have Escalated To The Extent That This Middle Class Colony Turned Into An Upper Middle Class Colony
India's gift to the world is it's largest middle class, some 300-500 million strong.
These are subjective terms, to me a TV, moped, scooter, motorcycle and cell-phone and home (flat or house) owner is middle class. These are enabling, money-making tech. marvels.
This was NOT the made-in-india cars, SUV's or 'phoren' travel set. That's recent, specially cars.
Given property prices, India was and remains the country with the largest home ownership in the world, cars and the above 'necessities' are peanuts, specially price wise. Mass manufacturing must have taken off. China is China, meanwhile the world's largest factories of consumer and industrial goods are 100 % Indian. MNC's Global factories in India have only recently caught up to India's manufacturing behemoths. For eg. Tata medium and mini truck, again Tata's Voltas brand air-conditioner plant, Bajaj motor, BEML Heavy, Maruti-Suzuki small car, TVS mopeds, Enfield motorcycles, ATlas Cycles, Sumeet Mixer-Grinders, Relaxo Chappal's, Arvind Denim, Hyundai Motors or Mahindar Tractor factories etc.
Many factories, like car parts, run on double-triple shifts because of accidental exports boost.
