As a cynic? 1/ Get the money, tax rebate, whatever 2/ Don't deliver a useable product but in the meantime jobs will be made available for a select few with help from suppliers who need to be shown to be supporting India 3/ Bank the profits and the votes 4/ In a few years, scrap everything unsold (ie all bar maybe one or two) and complain bitterly and very publicly about "foren" competition.
