India export 250MW power to Bangladesh from July

India exports electricity, and leaves their own people in darkness. India exports rice, while their own people die from hungry.

India is a selfless country, the model of world.

Lack of commonsense in your part.it might have taken 2/3 years but Bangladesh would have gain freedom anyway. Even the mighty mughals could not control bangla from delli.

Yup surely u would have gotten your freedom , but by that time your entire bengali population would have been to refugee camps , millions would have killed or raped by **** forces .

You r sitting in safe home because of Indian Army.

Ah! excuses, excuses, excuses! That's a typical bureaucratic answer!

The question is: WTF are they doing about it? Sweet fu@k all! Period! Heck, wide area transmission grids now span across countries and even large portions of continents, and our yahoos can't transmit to and within comparatively tiny Tamil Nadu? The truth is our bureaucrats, politicians and TNEB honchos are nothing but a bunch of poodle fakers getting fat salaries for doing zilch!

Further, if you're talking about "power transmission losses due to distance", how about Gujarat for example? It is a power surplus state now. With installed generation capacity of over 18,900 Mw from thermal sources alone, Gujarat is the largest power generating state in the country. And, it aims to add 10,000 Mw in the next five years, to touch the 30,000 Mw generation capacity mark by 2017. No "power transmission losses due to distance" there?

And Tamil Nadu? Oh man, it's so embarrassing, I can't even put out the figures here!! It sucks!

Don't compare Gujarat and TN , TN people suffers because regional/language politics.

Read the news very carefully. It says of Arunachal power production potentiality at 50,000 to 90,000MW. Tamil Nadu should wait for a few years with cash money in hand when BD will allow a part of this electricity to pass through its land to Indian national grid in west Bengal. But, do not forget to pay a handsome transit fee to BD. Make your offer sweeter by selling at least 20,000MW Arunachal electricity to BD. We pay in cash.

The problem is not only getting electricity from other states, but the total lack of transmission infrastructure and evacuation from the main electricity grids.

It's like I have a BMW but no wheels it can run on! So it's no use to man or beast.

Now, what the dickens were the yahoos sitting in their ivory towers in the government doing for the past many decades? Sweet fu@k all!

Tamil Nadu Government has to build its own power plants because they cannot afford to buy other states electricity. Because they offer subsidized electricity to its residents.

Bangladesh is free to buy as much electricity as India deems fit to be exported.

Looks like a very heated debate has already started between members as to the merits of this.

250 MW of power is a huge amount for a country like BD that has only a current installed capacity of 6000 MW. This amount of extra power will be enough to completely eliminate the load shedding that takes place in Dhaka as an example. The extra power will make a tremendous amount of difference to many people in BD and so should be welcomed as a good development.

Now there are some worries about allowing another country having the ability to turn off the power if relations between BD and India was to sour sometime into the future. As long as the amount of power that is supplied is around 10% of total BD generation capacity or less, then on balance the risk would be worth it as the most that BD would suffer would be extra load shedding that would not necessarily cause damage to it's economy in the long run.

This looks like a decent solution to BD's current power generation deficit and hence it should be cautiously welcomed.

Edit - should have said 250 MW rather than 500 MW
