The Indian subcontinent power rental market was valued at over $100 million in 2014 according to a research report by Verify Markets. The market in India was the largest within the Indian Subcontinent by far followed by Pakistan and then Bangladesh. Bangladesh also contributes towards the temporary power or rental power plants in the region. However, those plants have an uncertain future. Once the country commissions its permanent power plants, most of those plants will likely shut down by 2020.

Port investment in Bangladesh
Japanese investment in a new deep-water port at Matarbarhi Island on the southeast coast of Bangladesh highlights increasing geo-political rivalry fuelled by the United States and its allies as part of Washington’s “pivot to Asia.” The $US3.66 billion project cuts across a long-standing Chinese offer to build deep-water port facilities at Sonadia, only 25 kilometres from Matarbarhi.
The Japanese investment, which also includes a 1,200-megawatt power plant, was confirmed last month by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). China has said that it was not interested in bidding for the Matarbarhi port and the Sonadia port project looks increasingly unlikely.
