600/sq km is pretty dense IMO. It's larger than India's overall population density (382/sq km). Also you seem to be tragically unaware that land is often a scarce resource for infrastructure development in India. Taking farmland under eminent domain is an extremely emotive and political issue. Read up on the troubles of the present government to liberalize the land acquisition law.
- govg 10y agoI think you're conflating two different issues here, the plant is in an area which is pretty much barren land, far from any major city, and has only a small town near it. The troubles governments face when acquiring land for infrastructure is usually for things like metro rail through congested cities, or building airports on the suburbs of major cities and the like. The issue of it being densely populated land would have been valid if this was near some major city and plant actively hampered development. There probably is no such issue now, the plant provides cleaner energy than the alternative (coal), and is a huge step forward towards reducing the country's need for non-renewable sources.
