Who accept pricing this early for a power plant that has not yet even built? Dont they know rates fluctuate based on market conditions? This will be like the hedging deal for oil where the Government ends up paying higher than market rates because they are locked in a contract. Besides, electricity is in national interest. Why outsource it to Indian company?

Well done. Please go ahead. Do not delay the project. It’s in Sri Lankan soil. We Sri Lankans will definitely benefit. We have learnt a bitter lesson from Japan. They have refused to engage in construction of the rail line in the city to ease congestion. Once bitten twice shy.

USD 8.26 per KW is too expensive , also after 20 years the plant should be in good order and Adani should maintain free of charge at least 5 years upon handing over to CEB. It is most irritating to listen to Kanchana, the minister who always attack opposite and very aggressive. In any case only few months for these blokes.

The government will approve anything for Adani and Ambani and Indian investors.

Yoshan- it is outsourced, because you are not capable of producing it your self and do not have the capacity or money to do so

Mahila In 20 years - Those windmills will be broken down or in serious need of refurbishment. With your logic, only option is to hand over the plant again to Adani may be at three times the rate after 20 years. Just because you don't have money, that doesn't mean you should enter into shady business deals with a country that has dubious interest in SL.

With the money that's being overspent here, a coal power plant with 3 times the capacity of this plant can likely be built. Of course, that's against Ranil's western green agenda while India keeps building coal power plants in our coast. Some how he probably thinks smoke stays within Indian borders doesn't affect our air quality

Suresh -When India declines to provide power because we are not behaving the way they want, what are you going to do? In 1975, Indian Army annexed Sikkim and made it an Indian State. You think they are not going to do the same to SL after they put a bridge? If Government takesover the plant, Indian can say they are sending Indian forces to protect their business interest.

No doubt, it seems the government has been pressured into this deal. On the contrary, wouldn't even rule out a cohort of beneficiaries out of this very costly agreement. The consequences of the much publicised Indian generosity coming to light now.
