Moving out of coal entirely is silly for india right now. We are of course going nuclear for power but it's the rich developed countries that slow us down. We'll move when economics dictate it
Electric 2 and 3 wheelers will rock in India, not because they are environmentally better, but because, in a few years, they will be substantially cheaper.
For power, it will be about storage, localization and a move to DC, IMHO, for residential.

Run Fridge or heater on LPG/PNG and nearly all other devices (even Aircons with VFDs) can run on DC - it'll be cheaper and will reduce use of grid power. Such a thing is a disaster for the large investments in grids and in power plants, but that's okay.
Coal was used in trains, now not quite much. The evolution happened not because coal is environmentally bad - it's that better stuff came along. It'll happen in power too, eventually.
