Adani inked a 25-year contract under former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2017 with Bangladesh. Adani Power has been supplying power from its $2 billion plant in Jharkhand . The plant, with two units each of 800 megawatts capacity, sells exclusively to Bangladesh.
The Adani Group firm halved supply to Bangladesh on October 31 due to payment delays after the nation faced foreign exchange shortage. This led to the closure of one unit on November 1, leading to the plant operating at about 42% capacity. Subsequently, Bangladesh asked Adani to keep supplying only half the power.
The Reuters report cited Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) saying that it has been paying $85 million a month to Adani to clear outstanding dues. It has now told the Adani Group firm to resume supply from the second unit.
