The Tripura government immediately paid the outstanding amount of Rs 135 crore of electricity to Bangladesh

Nothing going for Bangladesh right now. The situation there is different, the government of the extreme Indian state of Tripura has allowed the country to immediately pay Rs 135 crore of electricity arrears.

This year also in May 2024 Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) has restricted power supply to Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) due to non-payment on time. Bangladesh has not paid for the past one year, which has led to an increase in the arrears.

Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (CL) Managing Director E. Debyashish said, “Bangla Dash Power Development Board (BPBD) Corpora State Electricity Limited (SSEL) owes over Rs. We are trying our best to streamline the payment process but financial difficulties are coming up. We wrote several letters to Bangladesh. I personally met the President of Bangladesh Power Development Board. The Energy Minister has also spoken to the Union Ministry to resolve the issue. TSL is also facing financial difficulties due to outstanding E.
