The plant is in India, BD is just buying the power at above rack rate (hence the hue and cry)

- alephnerd 3y agoAh, makes sense! That said, it doesn't seem to be that big a deal then. It would be better for BD to build their own, but Jharkhand's electric grid has always been closely connected with Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan because it's always been an electricity export market due to cheap coal and (before de-industrialization) a large manufacturing base. I'm going to steer clear from Al Jazeera reporting simply because there is some Gulf rivalry going on there (eg. MBZ of Abu Dhabi has a significant voting share in Adani) because Qatar got frozen out of the Indian market by the UAE and KSA.
