Cheyyur Ultra Mega Power Plant, Tamil Nadu, India The Ministry of Power of Government of India has launched a unique initiative in 2005-06 to facilitate the development of Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) each having a capacity of about 4000 MW each. The aim is to enhance the capacity, at both the coal pitheads and coastal locations aimed at delivering power at competitive cost to consumers by achieving economies of scale. The Central Government has accordingly taken the initiative for facilitating the development of UMPPs under tariff based competitive bidding route using super critical technology on build, own and operate (BOO) basis. Central Electricity Authority (CEA) is the Technical partner and Power Finance Corporation (PFC) is the Nodal Agency.

Chongquing Soybean Growing and Manufacturing in Bahia, Brazil Chongqing Grain Group is one of Chinas largest state-owned grain corporations. In accordance to China's 'Strategic Plan for Agricultural ˜Going Out'',Choingqing Group announced in April 2010 plans for a US$300-million soybean project in Bahia, Brazil, that would include infrastructure construction and control over 100,000 ha of land, with potential to expand to 200,000 ha. Brazilian authorities publicly denied that the deal involved the transfer of lands, but in an interview with state TV channel CCTV in February 2011, Huang Qifan, the mayor of Chongqing, reiterated that the company had been allocated the land and that the project would be managed by a joint venture company 70% owned by Chongqing Grain and 30% by Brazilian investors, and partnerships with local producers. Political pressure from international NGOs and local social movements steered the project away from farms and towards soy processing plants supplied by rented lands.
