"India's Initiative for South Asia power grid"
Regarding a story like this, I say, "the man who developing Asia", have not be passed. India's minister of state for power and commerce Jairam Ramesh and Nepal's premier Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' of the two persons, today in a separate phase of the articles, simultaneously touched South Asian power trade through their energy development plan.
Ramesh recently accompanied India's NHPC, who had been reluctant to go to Myanmar, to the capital of Myanmar to visit and got agreement of two hudel projects. That's Chindwin river basin 1,200 MW Tamanthi project and the 600MW Shwzaye project. Actually, Ramesh aims of the natural gas off the coast of Myanmar. However, the development of the Chindwin may contribute to the South Asia power grid, which linked strongly to the plan.
For Bhutan, it has already been proven in imports by 2020 of 5,000MW hydel power. For Nepal, the Nepal premier Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' in the Delhi visit, his own over the next 10 years to develop an offer of 10,000 MW. The private sector companies in India already have been working. For . Myanmar, Chindwin project is under investigation.
In today's article, Sri Lanka is also involved. In Sri Lanka, 450 million dollar undersea power transmission line and plan to move further development of coal-fired 500MW by NTPC is moving. For India, Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar and Sri Lanka's plan to form large networks, it is Ramesh' mind as a core of India. What's to be Bangladesh ? Currently, the gas pipeline is the relationship between in the conflict.
