Tata happy over incentive offer

JASIM UDDIN KHAN
The Indian conglomerate Tata Group yesterday expressed concern over the government's plan on rationing gas to different industrial units in the country.
Tata representatives at a review meeting with the government negotiation committee reiterated their demand for a guarantee of 20 years' gas supply.
They informed the negotiation committee they have chosen both the Barapukuria and Phulbari coal mines for extracting annually about three lakh tonnes of coal.
The group also suggested that the government bring some amendments to the existing procurement and private infrastructureguidelines instead of
bypassing these in procuring Tata products.
The representatives at the meeting expressed satisfaction over the discussion about incentive, which may be given to the group for its investment.
They again demanded 0.24 TCF gas for the Tata fertiliser plant and construction of a link road between Sangu gas field and the plant, and dredging infrastructure.
The government has sought an update report on the overall negotiations between the government and the Tata Group, and the investor has agreed to provide one soon.
The government again said Tata would not get any incentive that may create discrimination among other investors. Besides, Tata could not be given Export Processing Zone facilities.
The representatives said the discussion will get momentum after the consultant report on 'Tata Investment Impact in Bangladesh' is made available. They said there is no problem in the cross-border transportation, as the railways in both the countries have agreed in principle to open such transportation.
They said energy prices from the coal-based power plant could be determined after getting the National Grid Fluctuation study report in the first week of November.
After the meeting, Shafiqul Islam, head of the government negotiation committee, said they have agreed to continue with the third round discussion for another week.
Tata Sons Executive Director Alan Rosling said progress in Bangladesh is faster than in other countries, where Tata has such huge investments.
He expressed his optimism that all the deals can be concluded by year-end to start operations early next year.
