India Expresses Willingness to Build LNG Terminal at Chittagong, Bangladesh
June 16th, 2016

New Delhi is willing to build an LNG terminal at Chittagong, Bangladesh which will be used to supply gas to state in the north-eastern part of India.

Dhaka will discuss the matter before taking a final decision, Energy Bangla reported.

The issue was raised during a meeting of Bangladeshi and India officials in New Delhi. A delegation led by Bangladesh’s energy and resources division secretary Md Nazimuddin met with Indian officials.

Bangladesh is interested in importing gas from north east Indian state of Tripura via a pipeline. However, New Delhi is not interested in such a plan. Instead, India wants to export electricity from Tripura that is produced at a gas based plant, Energy Bangla reported.

Currently, Bangladesh is importing 100 MW of electricity from Tripura.

A number of Indian companies are eyeing the fast growing energy market in Bangladesh. Anil Ambani led Reliance Power has got green light to build the first phase of LNG based power plant in Bangladesh. Government of Bangladesh has granted in-principle approval for the first phase of 750 MW power plant that will be set up at Meghnaghat (Narayanganj district), around 40 km South-East of Dhaka along with the FSRU terminal at Maheshkhali Island in Cox’s Bazar district of Bangladesh.

Another private sector entity, Adani Gas Ltd (AGL), the natural gas distribution arm of leading Indian private sector group Adani Enterprises, is looking to expand in the household gas markets in Bangladesh and eastern India. It has proposed to build a 650-km pipeline network that will connect the Adani Group's proposed LPG terminal at Dhamra port in Odisha to Asansol and Duttapulia in West Bengal. Duttapulia is near the Indo-Bangladesh border.

In addition to private sectors firms like Reliance Power and Adani, Indian state owned firms are also eyeing the Bangladesh power and energy markets. Earlier this year, Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL) and Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on broad aspects of cooperation in downstream oil and gas sector opportunities in Bangladesh.

The MoU paves the way for discussion on setting up LPG import terminal at coastal belt of Chittagong district, marketing of LPG and developing related infrastructure in Bangladesh, transportation LPG from Chittagong to Indian city of Tripura and any other form of hydrocarbon sector related cooperation of common interest as may be agreed by IOCL and BPC.

The MoU was signed during Indian oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s visit to Bangladesh from 17th to 19th of April.

More like before India reaches 100th anniversary, both W Bengal and NE states will become part of greater BD.

You mean AFTER BD is drown in BoB?

BD land area is increasing due to sedimentation from Himalayas and coastal defences will preserve land from sea.

Greater BD willl be the richest and strongest country in S Asia.

I am able to think at a level that someone like you can only dream of.

So, what happened to your theory of BD going under the sea then?

This clearly shows the type of ''economic co-operation'' Bharatis are involved in Bangladesh.Only narrow India specific interest.Compare it with this one-

India has so far been flooded our market with onion and garlics. Now, its engineers and contractors are moving in to build a few technology projects. Fund will be supplied by BD govt and work will be executed by the reliance Company.

However, I wonder if Reliance has the correct technology and know how to build such a high technology project. Can someone tell us if Reliance did similar projects in India or overseas. One insider news. An Indian company won a contract to build water purification plants in Savar where all the Hazaribag tanners have to move. But, BCIC engineers were not satisfied with the plants and they doubt if these will perform properly.

I do not believe also this gossip news, because I know a tender calling process for construction will be finalized after the selection of site and after doing the basic design, even for which tender hasnot been called. Now the Power Cell is only doing the short;isting of the Consultants. Construction phase is far away. So, I am surprised at the wishful newspaper report.

Reliance power alone have built many and operates more than 30 power plants with capacity of 30GW( more than twice or thrice of that of whole BD capacity).
PS: In last 5 years, Reliance power has grown exponentially.

I think, you are mistaking an LNG Terminal building project with power stations. Anyway, India has only expressed its willingness to build this Moheshkhali LNG plant. But it is said that man proposes, but only God delivers. In case of this project it is impossible for the Reliance or any other Indian company to do it. This Iis a very high technology project for which India has no technology. So, BD will certainly not deliver this to an unreliable Indian company.

India should be happy to ship many more agriculture products to BD.

Well you involved Reliance power at first place which I mistook for power station set up as they have been selected for that. Anyway for LNG terminal, Petronet LNG( Indian govt's company) can do the job. Other private players like Adani too can.

We are exploring oil and gas for decades now, we are also in SCS We have the world's largest refinery in Gujrat, and India is the fifth largest oil refiner in the world, you are mistaking India for Bangladesh.

This is as per China's long term occupation plan, in 50 years China will claim historical presence of Han Chinese in that part of the Bangladeshi land showing those constructions as proof, and claim the land (Chines construction, these will look like ancient ruins in 50 years).
