A couple of points to take from this.

1. This is an example of members of the Bangladeshi diaspora contributing to the country, something which the UK Bangladeshi community has been doing including the construction of a $100 million 5 star hotel in Dhaka, Royal Bengal airlines and $3 billion investment package in Bangladesh.

2. From what I can gather Das' company are Indians. This is part of the general process of BD-Indian relations becoming more productive and mututally beneficial and in the power sector the government has awarded some contracts to Indian companies. I would rather be friends with India (as long as we don't compromise our interests) than be enemies.

3. I am not a specialist in the energy sector. I am sure this is good news, but from my laymens knowledge of energy, this wouldn't be enough in the long term to meet the demands of an expanding population with an economy which continues to increase at faster rates and is diversifying and becoming more dynamic.
