Hope the economy grows to be able to provide the mkt for the additional power.

We need a few energy intensive industies such as aluminium smelting, steel companies to uptake the additional power


Cheap geothermal energy plus efficient railway will attract the industries

Such investments are not made solely on the basis of a railway or cheap power but the prevailing macro-economic conditions and environment.

Cheap power helps but if the firm has to bribe from its goods to move from Point A to B then the cheap power is anything but. Then comes labor. Skills? Cost? Reliability? What about security?

Who cares if power is cheap & there's a railway if it gets uprooted? What if after building a factory, some chaps come over and 'claim' the land is theirs?

That's the point. You want to be in the SEZ coz there are OTHER enabling factors like infrastructure, security, 'laws' [enforceable rules governing taxes, titles, etc], tax incentives IN ADDITION to cheap power and access to a railway. You want a PACKAGE.
