It's a joint venture project, not charity by india. India gets part of the revenue and that's why they are here.
Who is saying its charity???????
china is selling pakistan JF 17 its also not a charity but everybody see it as a sign of friendship, same here.
Dude selling defence equipment is one thing and making power plants is a completely different thing.
But, dude its a sign of friendship as we are providing it in aid just for friendship its not like you floats a international tender pay in cash and we are doing it.
Try to be rational.
Its not charity I agree and we are not saying it charity but its for friendship for sure.
I'm all cool about this 8% economic growth potential
but I'm seriously alarmed by the inflation it will result.
Its not a good thing for those who lives in the streets.
The current jump in inflation can be traced back to oil prices along with exchange rate crisis. So, my personal believe is we can cut our inflation rates in the near future given oil prices remain stable.
But, dude its a sign of friendship as we are providing it in aid just for friendship its not like you floats a international tender pay in cash and we are doing it.

The point is that how these projects help BD in managing the power deficit.. BD hs a limited reserve of Coal n Gas.. Its time to think nuclear.. A good CBM can make it happen... 4get russia..
Current proven coal reserves are 3 times the amount of gas (in energy terms). Proven gas reserves will last the country 10 years, so coal will last roughly 30 years. The reason why proven gas reserves is so low is because the government did not do any exploration for like 14 years.
Good thing is now government is taking steps and finding more gas aswell, and there might be quite a bit of oil in the BoB as well. So my guess is for the short term oil, gas and coal can be used to generate energy but later we need to look into something alternative, maybe something wholly renewable or something like nuclear.
Have you got any more info on this mate? Or the source?
.Natural Gas Production in Bangladesh, 1994-2004. (Source: EIA International Energy Annual)
Natural gas reserve estimates vary widely for Bangladesh. Oil & Gas Journal (OGJ) reported that Bangladesh had 5 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven natural gas reserves as of January 2006, down significantly from OGJ’s January 2005 estimate of 10.6 Tcf. It is not clear why the large downgrade of Bangladesh’s natural gas reserves occurred. [B}In mid-2004, estimates from state-owned Petrobangla put net proven reserves at 15.3 Tcf[/B]. Bangladesh’s Ministry of Finance estimated in 2004 that the country holds 28.4 Tcf of total gas reserves, of which 20.5 Tcf is recoverable. In June 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated that Bangladesh contains 32.1 Tcf of additional “undiscovered reserves.”
According to Bangladesh's National Energy Policy 2004 (quoted in The Independent, May 9) total coal reserves are 2,527 million tonnes, contained in four fields: Barapukuria with around 300 million tonnes; Phulbari with 400 million tonnes; Jamalganj containing 1,000 million tons, and 450 million tonnes at Khalaspir. Of these resources, 492 million tonnes are estimated to be recoverable by mining.
However, the key questions are: how much of this coal, and of what quality, is actually usable; and when would it realistically be available to generate electricity? This is something that the proposed joint feasibility study between government and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will hopefully address. But it's not yet known how long it will take to complete this study. Nor can we anticipate any conclusions it might make concerning the economic, social and environmental costs contingent on hugely increasing Bangladesh's dependency on coal over the coming years.
The mining recovery estimate seems highly optimistic. Mark Muller, as an experienced mining geophysicist, recently carried out an independent technical review of Bangladesh's coal reserves. Based on existing surveys, he concluded that they amount to between 3,200 and 4,700 million tonnes, using the most optimistic figures found.
