- Zia Haq and Rezaul H Laskar

India is keeping a close watch on China's construction of what is set to be the world’s largest hydropower dam on the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra river and could fast-track a multipurpose dam in Arunachal Pradesh to act as a buffer against sudden changes in water flows, people familiar with the matter said on Monday.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang presided over a ceremony on Saturday marking the start of construction on the $167-billion dam on Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet, according to reports in China's state-run media. The Motuo hydropower station is set to overtake the Three Gorges dam as the world’s largest.
