we all cheer on china but if china goes ahead the power produced will be very expenisve for the first 30 years~9-10 rs/units

How & Why?

dams dont bring votes...why not build a metro in every city rather building a dam
i doubt it this would happen....unless someone finance it 100% than obviously..just like all the other hydro projects that are 100% financed by WB

Looks like great deal to me. Pakistan is already wasting many years. They will invest $15 billion and sell electricity for rs 9 for 30 years before handing it over. We don't have to get loan, pay it back and will save oil import bill.

This dam is important for water security.
