Myanmar turns to India as China supplies poor-quality materials

Myanmar is facing a China challenge with Beijing using sub-standard raw material for the Southeast Asian country’s real estate sector following which the junta has approached India for assistance.

Upset with the quality of Chinese construction in capital Nay Pyi Taw and the impact of the recent earthquake on the infrastructure created by using Chinese raw material (cement) in Myanmar’s capital, the junta has turned to India for supplies of critical raw materials, including cement for buildings, ET has reliably learnt.

India has initiated supply of cement to Myanmar for construction and reconstruction work, sources said, adding, the junta has praised New Delhi for its support at this critical juncture.

Earlier this year, India launched ‘Operation Brahma’ to provide necessary support, including Search and Rescue (SAR), humanitarian aid, disaster relief and medical assistance, following the devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28.

Being the First Responder in times of crisis in the neighbourhood, ‘Operation Brahma’ is a whole-of-government endeavour by India to respond to widespread destruction in Myanmar, officials recalled.
