Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, possible interactions between lions and tigers needs to be considered as an outcome of moving a population of lions into areas of India other than Gujarat.  In the US, the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone Park in 1995 clearly impacted biodiversity in the park.  Elk numbers are down, which has led to increases in the plants that the elk ate.  Coyotes numbers have declined.  It is rather obvious that the reintroduction of an apex predator doesn't occur in a vacuum.  This has to be at least partially a reason for the Indian government's apparent cautiousness in moving forward with the project.
