1. Which country received the first payment from India for hybrid power projects on three of its islands?
India provided the first payment for hybrid power projects on three islands in Sri Lanka—Delft, Nainativu, and Analaitivu—through an $11 million grant. These projects, replacing a previously suspended Chinese venture, aim to meet the energy needs of the islands, which are located near Tamil Nadu and are not connected to Sri Lanka's national grid. The initiative is expected to be completed by April 2025, highlighting India's strategic involvement in Sri Lanka's energy infrastructure.
