India takes Jaffna project away from Chinese company

A Chinese company has lost a tender to develop three hybrid power plants in the Delft, Nagadeepa, and Analthivu islands off the Jaffna peninsula to India, reports the Indian media.

Since India is now funding the solar and wind power project with 12 million US dollars, it only is reasonable that an Indian company got the tender, reported India’s media.

Originally, a Chinese company was given the tender in 2021 to build the solar and wind energy plants.

The Chinese Embassy in tweeted the project was suspended due to ‘security concern’ from a third party.
