Adani Tightens Grip: Bangladesh Power Crisis Fuels 38% Export Surge Amid Diplomatic Tensions

Описание: India's Adani Power is dramatically expanding its electricity exports to Bangladesh, with a 38% surge to 2.25 billion kilowatt-hours in Q4 2025, despite deteriorating diplomatic relations and accusations of overpriced supply. The conglomerate now controls 10% of Bangladesh's electricity supply during peak periods, up from 8.2% annually, as the country grapples with a severe energy crisis.

Bangladesh's natural gas production has plummeted, forcing gas-fired generation to a historic low of 42.6% of the energy mix—down from nearly two-thirds in the previous decade. This shortfall has compelled Bangladesh to import record amounts of coal (17.34 million metric tons in 2025) and increase reliance on Adani's power, which experts say remains cheaper than domestic oil-fired alternatives.

The electricity trade flourishes even as both nations have suspended visa services and summoned envoys over security concerns. A Bangladesh government panel has criticized Adani's pricing, but Power Development Board officials confirm imports are essential to meet 6-7% demand growth in 2026 and address gas transmission limitations that prevent effective use of liquefied natural gas infrastructure
