India Allows Chinese Firms to Bid on Power Projects Amid Trade Deficit Concerns

Party general secretary Jairam Ramesh shared a media report on X. The report claimed that the Indian government has allowed four Chinese power equipment manufacturers to participate in tenders for key state-owned power projects that have factories in India. In his post, Jairam Ramesh said, The Modi government's mind-boggling approach to China continues. At the same time, India's trade deficit with China has reached record levels, causing huge losses to the country's industries, especially MSMEs. He said that China's provocative activities regarding Arunachal Pradesh continue. The ad claimed that the world's largest hydropower project is under construction in Medog (a remote district in Tibet). This could threaten India's water security linked to the Brahmaputra River. He also claimed that India has abandoned its traditional patrolling and cattle grazing rights in many areas of eastern Ladakh.
