Oh it will be. 2005 India had what?....500 billion of market cap power projection?
Now its 5 times that and growing fast.
I need not post the commensurate energy demand that has entailed either....not with the 100% gas connection program Modi admin has successfully implemented now.
"Patronage" to PM lady....if that....given she is quite beholden to and tucked away in dada pocket. You can watch and see yourself.
There is no dumping duty (since India has not brought any dumping case against BD in WTO in first place). Dont mix up terms please....you actually have to learn what they are first.
If you want to address the tears/emotion-based "non-tariff barriers" that some butthurts here already are whinging about....you can simply start to open the litigation process at WTO regarding that (its pretty ridiculously easy thing to do) at ANY time (Ever since you started the rona drona cry). That is on YOU to do (to express any basic intent/claim on it so we even have some reference of what you are exactly talking about).
It will NEVER be part of any energy deal/project with India....just like it did not come up one iota in the electric network integration (and market establishment)...nor in the BBIN logistics deals.
@hellfire @Sam. @Cobra Arbok
Nope. Its covered substantially in Indian diplomatic patronage of BD already (and plenty of room to spare -and as we dictate and decide)
Wont ever be part of this kind of deal. That is bilateral issue for you lot to deal with.
@Aung Zaya
There is no "FTA" tbh (bilateral or otherwise) in South Asia....just MFN's granted (which still allow duties and tariffs within a framework)....which are the equivalent of doing high-fives instead of actual legislation +handshake. i.e mostly optics rather than substance.
I would like to see what you mean by China exporting through BD? Need some evidence here....because that is covered by WTO strongly under rules of origin clause (even down to minute % levels needed to classify as such when talking about sourcing and value adding if multi-input). Because that would be a case that would be immediately filed and fast-tracked at WTO.
India imports tiny levels (of mostly BD made commodities with small value add) from BD in the first place.....given BD terrible infrastructure (esp logistics) and business conditions...there is no economic advantage to importing Chinese goods from there anyway.
