India offers to export electricity to Pakistan

[Spring Onion]

We ain't going to take it you know why?

Pakistan was offered these following:

China offered to take control of Pakistan supply lines, they promised no more power cuts and it will be $3 per unit. Pakistan goverment declined.

Iran offered is energy for $5 per unit. Again Pakistan goverment declined.

UAE offered to build a free Power Plant for Pakistan, again Pakistan goverment declined.


Now USA has offered us $15 per unit of enegy and guess waht The Pakistan Goverment accepted that sh*T.

That's how corrupt our goverment is.

The Zardari Govt has taken no step to materialise these offers and i wonder if his govt is active enough to do something about Indian offer or it is going the same way as were earlier ones

In Indian punjab rate is around 6-7 RS per unit..................how can india offers so much cheaper to foreign country????..................will not be under a dollar (more than RS 45 )

If India offers at Rs15 (Indian currency) per unit it will cost us Rs30 PKR per unit. so not cheap for us even if they offer at Rs10

Expecting various theories of why India is offering electricity. Before the India bashers take centre stage ...

From Pakistan point of view, they should continue their effort for self reliance but in the interim, this will be a desirable relief.

They won't take the offer. It allows India some strategic advantage over them (however little it is). Although, I hope they do. More $$$ for us.

 

[Mirza Jatt]

Good move by India....wether they accept the offer or not....shouldnt be a big concern for us.

 

[Last Hope]

Nice move to ridicule. I remember, there was a time we offered Electricity to India. And after privitising the plants, we lost that.

 

[Skull and Bones]

Come on man!

We have a shortage of supplies here, and they are selling electricity to some foreign country.

Not good.

Do we really have surplus electricity? We should fulfill our needs then worry about others, and why sell at cheap rates Its no charity, its publics tax money!

Gujarat has 12K MW plants while only need 5K MW. Other states don't seek Gujarat for electricity which makes power production underutilized. Moreover excess electricity from Gujarat to Bihar would be costlier. I think its good move and even in my past post, I have wished this things to happen.

It would not be cheap. It might for Pakistan as their rates are around 8-12 Rs. while in India its 4 Rs. Therefore India can sell the electricity at 9-10 Rs. I guess.

Ah that makes sense, don't we have a national grid in India?
