Well, it is 104.33 already and it has only been a few months of this government. Another 4 years or so and it will get to 150. The new loans taken from IMF will ensure such a great fall.

The answer is bound to be truthful. :D

Okay, I will accept your position for now. Let's see how and when these resources will ever be exploited. They are not going anywhere.

Fair enough, but actual RESULTS trump all. Where are the results?

Yes, but what they propose is a 1000MW dry-cooled power plant, that nobody is willing to finance so far. Why? Because the investment is simply not worth it compared to the alternatives.

Well, Major Hassan wanted the death penalty. Good to see he got it.

So this one company called RPI conducted this feasibility study: http://www.rwe.com/web/cms/mediablob/en/315572/data/227000/1/rwe-power-international/our-experience/mining-services/Thar-Bankable-Feasibility-Study.pdf where they state: So what does that actually do to make someone finance the...

Thar coal will remain unexploited because of its POOR QUALITY.

Thar coal is unexplored because of its poor quality.

I said some resources are present. For example, here is the reality about our Thar coal:

Our Thar coal is simply of too poor a quality to be used for power generation, all 85 billions tons of it. The hopes attached to Thar coal were always a mirage.

The point is this: WE HAVE NO MONEY. We can get something done if and only if someone else pays for it. Like Iran. Or China. Or IMF. Or Saudi Arabia. Or ADB. Right now, no one is agreeing to fund any such projects on our list.

Oh my, bad times then. But any one rejected can try again. If they have their mind set. Or go do something else.

Sirjee, exploitation of the Sui gas field was funded by the USSR, World Bank, Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the Asian Development Bank. We did not do it on our own.

Ah yes, the famous 214(b) rejection.

Priority "lists" mean nothing without the resources to carry them out.

Some resources will take many years to exploit with expertise and finances we do not have, some resources being claimed are simply not as large or exploitable, some are simply not real. All such claims are ridiculous in their periodic regularity and their consistent futility. Why blame the...

The point is that all these "feel good" stories of mineral riches are useless because they are so far from reality.

So with these "vast shale gas and oil reserves" and the "hugest coal despots in Thar" and the "mountains full of gold and copper in Reko Dik" we should be all set for the new few centuries. Rejoice! Celebrate! (May be not.)

I agree with you that the fanboys have no bearing on the project ultimately. Like I said, it will gradually achieve its designed potential steadily and with the provision of the required resources. However, reading older threads in this very forum on this topic give a clear idea of how some...
