Although the kingdom was small, it survived several wars and became a princely state in British India in 1818. 1969-1979: UNION CARBIDE ENTERS BHOPAL UCC made an investment of $20 million to build the plant in Bhopal. Carbide’s own documents show that the company trimmed $8 million off their initial cost estimates, as the plant was supposed to cost a total of $28 million. Installing safety devices can cost between 15-30 % of the outlay at a plant’s inception, so this amounts to $3-6million.
