IMPORTING ELECTRICITY FROM INDIA

[bubble123]

Pakistan should get electricity from anyone who can supply(well until at least we are able to build infrastructure of our own).

Electricity is not Indian,Pakistani,Chinese,Hindu or Muslim its just electricity.lol

shell i start it again ? lolz hahahahah

you said it man!

 

[nForce]

India has about 57% access to electricity, whereas Pakistan has 55%.

I dont know where are you getting your data from..

Overall electrification in India is 64.5% while in Pakistan it is 57.6%. 93.1% of Indian urban areas have electricity,while in case of Pakistan it is 78%.

Now,the big difference is,while we rarely have power shortage for our installed limits,Pakistan has massive shortage,resulting in power cuts as long as 16-18 hours a day.

If we build a power line along the Karakorum Highway, maybe Pakistan can import electricity from Xinjiang or Tibet.

The topography is way to rugged to be cost effective.Its easier in flat lands rather than through mountains and ridges

Not if it is the mountains and ridges region is short of electricity.

Not if it is the mountains and ridges region is short of electricity.

Normally less number of people live in mountainous regions.

So,the requirement for a heavy duty thermal/Nuclear power plant is less there.Here in India,we find it easier to provide electricity in those regions by using Wind energy or Hydro electric power.
It saves the cost of transmission loss that would have been incurred in transmitting power all the way up from the valley.

This is 2008 data and India government already had invested $160 Billion in last 5 years on power sector projects.

Please provide the latest data of electricity coverage.

I don't have any data I only know government invested $160 Billion on Power Sector between 2006-2011 as a lion share of $500 Billion of infrastructure project. They have planned to double this amount to $1 Trillion b/w 2012-2017, i think this time also power sector will get the Lion's share.

Not sure what is wrong with Chinese posters. One of them came with the Idea of removing Indus from J& K and supplying it to Pakistan through underground tunnels by drilling through mountain ranges including K2. Considering the cost it is so astronomical for such a venture. It would be cheaper to build a complete network of canals and dams in Pakistan for better utilisation of water and make Pakistan's agricultural community richer by an order.

Now the new theory of supplying electricity to the south west of Pakistan from China and that too through the Karakorum Highway. It would be better to gift a dozen nuclear plants instead of the accumulated transmission losses and the cost to build such a line in the first place.

I am not sure why but such statements are actually digressing each topic to draw attention to China and try and scuttle a meaningful discussion. Such ridiculous ideas should be considered trolling and put to place.

Well my opinion and rest is up to moderators.

 

[Secret Service]

it is the issue of Rental Power Stations who are not producing electricity and getting full rent.

 

[Tangent]

India does have load shedding but not to that amount that happens in Pakistan. States like Gujarat have surplus electricity which can be exported to Sindh and Punjab rather than exporting it towards the eastern coast of AP, Orissa ( transmission losses).

The need to supply to the deficient state should be of higher priority that exporting.
If Orissa and other needy states get their requirement from bangladesh or else where, then only we should think about exporting.

You are right but thats why i said transmission losses become a factor over a larger distance and therefore Gujarat will be better
of exporting to Sindh and Pak Punjab.
