Obv China has 100% MOU conversion and india has (insert low) %....cannot compare at all (though don't ask for any solid evidence of it).

Facts? Evidence? What's that?

 

[Homo Sapiens]

So even the $24B that the Chinese are going to invest will not materialize? Those are MoUs as well.

24 billion dollar is a loan, NOT investment.Get your fact right.Chinese investment commitment are 13.6 billion dollar which is separate thing.

So what? They are still signed under MoUs. I don't think you understand what it means.

India is offering free money, as investment, China is offering loans which someone has to pay back to China.

No, they are not MoUs.24 billion dollar are firm credit line agreement like previous Indian 1 billion and 2 billion dollar credit line.BD will use that 24 billion for implementing 25 mega project,many of which are billion dollar worth.Do you thing we would have signed only a wishy-wishy papers with China for those vital projects to stop them in the middle due to lack of commitment of fund? China will not even blink to release those 24 billion.24 billion dollar is nothing for China.

MoU was signed for separate 13.6 billion dollar investment proposal.24 billion was credit line which was confirmed by 25 separate deal.

Check what I said. 10GW of power plants in India and 1-2GW from India.



http://www.thehindubusinessline.com...wer-projects-in-bangladesh/article9598488.ece
Reliance intends to generate 3,000 MW using LNG from a Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) to be installed by it. The first phase of this project for generation of 700 MW in Meghnaghat has been approved. The Adani Group intends to supply power using dedicated transmission lines to Bangladesh from the two 660 MW plants to be set up in Jharkhand. In addition, public sector companies such as Petronet, IOCL and the Numaligarh Refinery Ltd have also expressed interest in the oil and gas sector in Bangladesh. In January 2016, the Adani Group and Reliance ADAG announced their intent to invest around $11 billion in power, LNG and ports sectors in Bangladesh.

This link alone says 4320MW. And this is from 2015. Then there was a follow on agreement for $10B worth of investments.

http://www.business-standard.com/ar...ent-pacts-worth-9-billion-117040900614_1.html
India supplies 600 Mw of power to Bangladesh through two existing interconnections at Bheramara-Baharampur and Tripura-South Comilla. Another 500 Mw will be provided by India through the Bheramara-Baharampur interconnection.

The two sides have agreed to set up additional interconnection between Bornagar in Assam and Parbatipur in Bangladesh, and also Katihar in Bihar, for power evacuation facilities from which Bangladesh can draw 1,000 Mw of power. The two sides are also discussing supply of 340 Mw from various NTPC stations.

So, here's another 2440MW from within India.

That 10B worth of new investments is extra. So 6760MW right there.



Completely incorrect.

How is this landlocked?

The purpose of the BD-NE railway line is to open up BD's market to India from both sides. And also provide NE and the rest of India with another mainline connection.

Let's not forget that it will give India an alternate path for its military during war with China.

The rail links and highways we have with NE is plenty for the amount of people living in the region.



Of course. As I said, BD will be no different from a state in India.



Nope. Defence and security pacts are always secret.



That's okay. We will be training your navy. The defence pact also includes military training.

Dude are you trolling or what?

You are trying so hard to prove that NE Indian states aren't landlocked by showing these incredible 1000 mile connections to Bihar and Myanmar, when in actual reality the markets for NE Indian agri/lumber/masonry products are within a hundred miles across the border to within Bangladesh in its factories. Today, NE India supplies clinker for our cement, timber and stone for construction, agri-products for a thriving Bangladeshi population.

However this also means that for now, NE India will remain a economically-captive hinterland for supplying simpler inputs for industrial export activity in Bangladesh.

In this way NE India will also remain economically dependent on Bangladesh and a convenient market for finished products, whether FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) such as, soap, shampoo, hair oil, fruit juice, soft drinks etc., or more sophisticated white goods appliance items like TVs, microwaves and refrigerators. The reason for this is simple - cost. Transport costs account a lot for these products, which will always be lower for Bangladeshi products within a few hundred miles of proximity and source. Compared to Indian factories 2000 miles away, Bangladeshi products can easily capture NE Indian markets, which although unsophisticated for now, will mature hopefully soon.

And the proclamations about Indian Navy training our Navy is simply a bunch of hot air. Ain't happening.

No they are not. Chinese loans are exactly the same as what Indian companies are offering. Both have come through the leaders of their respective nations.

All Chinese projects are subject to the same rules as the Indian projects. If they fail, then it's because of the nitty gritties of individual projects.

I don't think you understand how trade works. Read WTO rules. You can't stop trade.

I don't think bharat will respect it's deal with Bangladesh.They will put hundreds of trade barrier(tariff and non tariff) so that Bangladesh can't take advantage of geographic proximity with north east.Bharat want only a one way street where they will sale products within Bangladesh without any hindrance but will put every measure to prevent the entry of Bangladeshi products in India.This is the way banya cheater do business.

Are you stupid or what? Why are you comparing Chinese govt. loan with Indian company's investment proposal? I have said clearly 24 billion was govt. to govt. loan agreement for which 25 infrastructure deal were signed and Chinese company made 13.6 billion dollar investment commitment for which MoUs were signed.Why are confusing these two?

 

[That Guy]

Nominal GDP 284 billion dollar
GDP based on PPP 1.1 trillion dollar.

Actually, nominal gdp is higher than that.

http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft...&ds=.&br=1&c=564&s=NGDP,NGDPD,PPPGDP&grp=0&a=

Pakistan's Nominal GDP stands at $313 Bil (PKR 32.8 tril).

WTO rules don't regulate transshipment through foreign terrirory. It is up to individual countries like Bangladesh whether to stop granting it......we will stop it if it hurts our exports to the NE Indian region. We really have little if anything to lose.

It's all the same thing.

Everything is first signed as MoU, whether it is through loans or investments.

The way to deal with these banyas is to arm wrestle their govt. By shutting off transit.

Plain and simple.

That is the only language they understand.

You should read what you posted.

Today, NE India supplies clinker for our cement, timber and stone for construction, agri-products for a thriving Bangladeshi population.

In this way NE India will also remain economically dependent on Bangladesh and a convenient market for finished products, whether FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) such as, soap, shampoo, hair oil, fruit juice, soft drinks etc., or more sophisticated white goods appliance items like TVs, microwaves and refrigerators.

The entire post you made is about trade, not transit trade. If you think you have the upperhand to trade with NE India, then go right ahead. But you can't stop trade regardless. Only supply and demand determines trade.

Trade won't make the NE dependent on BD. BD's population is way too small and BD's govt has too little influence. NE will continue to depend on the rest of India, that's just common sense.
