Turbines for ONGC being brought via Bangladesh
23 March 2011: Heavy turbines for state-owned ONGC’s 726 MW power project in south Tripura are being brought to the state via Bangladesh. The turbines will be ferried from the Ashuganj river port in eastern Bangladesh to Tripura on big lorries. The turbines will start generating electricity by December 2011. The project will be fully operational by March 2012.
The Bangladesh Government had earlier agreed to allow India to use its waterways to transport the turbines and heavy machines for the power project, for which Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India had laid the foundation stone in October 2005.
