Cool. The question is are they going to harness it's power to mine Bitcoin?
Maybe. However there's actually much more required than Bitcoin mining for India. The massive need for drinking water in two of the nearest states is the biggest requirement as it seems now. But I'm hopeful that this will provide for more than enough on energy front as most of India is going to be running on solar energy in 10 years, so Bitcoin mining can't be ruled out.
Obviously clean water is first priority but they could get back some of the investment by Bitcoin mining.
Actually they can but I'm afraid they like Bitcoin. In fact they have been very repressive about it in recent times. This government and reserve Bank both want Bitcoin to be completely banned to save India rupee. So you can understand.
A 16-lane 60km road is pretty wild. It must be connecting two places that have a lot of commerce.
Actually it's not only because it's connecting two trade centres, rather it's the need to build such a wide dam so that it could stall such massive amounts of water, waves, and also earthquakes.
However, it's also true that the three most business oriented states - Gujrat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan - lie very close to it. If you've heard of Mumbai, that will be about 50 miles from the east of the dam.
