China’s mega dam project in Tibet sparks hydropower stock surge


China’s construction of the world’s largest hydropower dam in Tibet has boosted related stocks, as analysts predict that infrastructure construction companies, energy developers, and power grid equipment manufacturers would benefit from the substantial investment into what Beijing calls the “project of the century”.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Saturday announced the start of the project, situated on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, which becomes the Brahmaputra River as it leaves Tibet and flows south into India and finally into Bangladesh, state news agency Xinhua reported.
