AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Energy Connectivity: The EU launched a €5m “Energy Connectivity in South Asia” project in Kathmandu, aiming to link grids and expand cross-border power trade across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka—pushing cheaper, cleaner electricity and new jobs. Solar Scale-Up: The ADB approved a USD 160m loan for Bhutan’s Solar Farm Expansion Project, targeting at least 310 MW of new solar, grid upgrades and private-sector participation via the country’s first private-majority energy PPP. AI Infrastructure in Gelephu: SATO Technologies signed a letter of intent with Bhutan’s Gelephu Mindfulness City Authority to develop a hydro-powered AI compute campus reserving 100 MW firm power (starting 5 MW, expandable to 500 MW) for South Asia demand. Smartphone Manufacturing Approval: India cleared the Dixon–Vivo joint venture for manufacturing smartphones and electronic devices, a signal for regional electronics production supply chains that could ripple into Bhutan’s sourcing ecosystem. Inflation Pressure: Bhutan’s inflation hit 7.72% as food and transport costs climbed, with households feeling higher prices on essentials and utilities. Waste Management Stress: Gangtey–Phobji is struggling with landfill capacity as tourism grows, forcing interim dumping and raising environmental concerns for the valley’s services and conservation.
