To fulfill the huge demands, First Solar says it's considering building a solar-module manufacturing facility in the city to support the project.

This summer, China pressured the board of the Asian Development Bank to block a $2.9 billion loan to India, arguing that part of the money would go to a flood-control project in Arunachal Pradesh. The governor of the state, a retired army general named J.J. Singh, then announced that India would deploy 50,000 more troops up there, though he tells TIME the additional troops were planned well before any hint of tension - and they haven't arrived yet.
