why we use ac system in india why not dc

Answer / mugunthan
Firstly, the output of power stations comes from a rotary
turbine, which by it's nature is AC and therefore requires
no power electronics to convert to DC.
Secondly it is much easier to change the voltage of AC
electricity for transmission and distribution.
thirdly the cost of plant associated with AC transmission
(circuit breakers, transformers etc) is much lower than the
equivilant of DC transmission
AC transmission provides a number of technical advantages.
When a fault on the network occurs, a large fault current
occurs. In an AC system this becomes much easier to
interupt, as the sine wave current will naturally tend to
zero at some point making the current easier to interrupt

Answer / bhasker reddy
Generation in AC 11kv is only more efficient, more than 11kv generation we are getting commutation problems in alternator,same problem in dc generator also. so generation ac. cumming to transmission for higher KV DC Transmission is efficient, cumming to distribution ac efficient and reliable.
and india equipment designed fo 230v, 50Hz. if go with DC we get low efficiency and need to change equipment design.

Answer / anil
because the electronic component is not stable & irregular for convert the ac into dc so when the fault occur there is the large time is consuming
