It is anticipated the project will later be converted to a listed entity on Colombo Stock Exchange under a possible Maithripala Sirisena Government to raise funds from Sri Lankan public tax payers where as Norway Investors will exit from the company at a premium capital gain via selling shares.
Further Navin Dissanayake's father Gamini Dissanayake in Sri Lankan history once reached the top 10 richest people list in Asia after UNP Government completed Mahaweli power project by giving the contracts to Sri Lanka's Kelly Maharaja's Maharaja group that never had even a construction company those days except for Harrison Brush imports and Z-Lon pipes during 1978 UNP Government Era.
