Abstract
LARGE works have been established for supplying Bombay with water-power for its numerous mills and factories, which have hitherto used steam-power, to the extent of more than 100,000 h.p. Coal in most of India is too expensive to allow competition with other countries for many products, though the raw materials are grown or found in India, and labour is cheap and docile, while highly educated Indians abound. To Bombay coal has mostly to be carried about 1200 miles.
