Indian Guests visited HRC

   --- On 11th of August, a group of 6 Indian members paid a visit to HRC. After the briefing on HRC and SHP in China, the Indian guests expressed keen interest in SHP training that HRC conducts every year for international participants and micro packaged units that Chinese manufacturers produce. Inquiries were addressed around the supply of micro packaged units and the related expenses on SHP training. The 6 members were at Hangzhou attending 2003 Bamboo Cultivation, Processing and Production Seminar organized by UNIDO.
    India is a county badly in need of energy. In 2001-2002 there was a shortage of energy by 7.5%. So, the Indian government has formulated preferential policies to encourage private and foreign investors for SHP projects. The long-term target of the government is to increase the hydropower proportion in the national total installed capacity from the present 24.95% to 40%. (2003-08-21)
