Adani Power Cuts Bangladesh Supply

Adani Power has reduced its electricity supply to Bangladesh by over 60% due to an ongoing payment dispute. The company, which has been supplying power to Bangladesh under a bilateral agreement, has cited non-payment as the primary reason for this drastic reduction in supply. This cut is a significant blow to Bangladesh, which relies on imported electricity to meet its growing energy demands.

The dispute centers around unpaid dues, with Adani Power seeking resolution from the Bangladeshi authorities. The reduction in power supply is expected to have an impact on Bangladesh's electricity distribution, potentially affecting industries and residential areas. Bangladesh has been working on diversifying its energy sources, but it still depends heavily on imported electricity for its national grid.

Adani Power, on the other hand, has stated that it will continue to provide power if the payment issue is resolved. The company has emphasized the importance of maintaining financial agreements for smooth and uninterrupted supply. This situation highlights the challenges in cross-border electricity trade and the importance of ensuring timely payments to avoid disruptions.
