Dhaka: The supply of Indian electricity to Bangladesh has increased rapidly, following increasing demand in the country. Currently, 17.13% of the total electricity produced in Bangladesh is coming from India, with the majority of it being supplied by the Adani Group.
Asked about importing electricity from India, Bangladesh's Power Development Board (PDB) member (Production) Zahirul Islam said: “April and May are summer and irrigation seasons, making electricity supply a major challenge for us during this time. We try to increase production from every possible source. The increase in electricity supply from India is also for the same reason. As demand has risen, the supply has increased,” the Dhaka Tribune reported.
