Adani's power plant unit in Jharkhand experienced a trip, cutting the electricity supply to Bangladesh amid ongoing power shortages in Dhaka.
Adani Power’s unit in Jharkhand suffered a sudden trip, interrupting the flow of electricity to Bangladesh. The outage was reported by local authorities and confirmed by the company’s spokesperson. Bangladesh’s power grid, already strained by high demand, has been grappling with supply shortages, and the interruption has added to the challenges faced by Dhaka’s residents.
The plant, part of Adani’s expanding energy portfolio, supplies a significant portion of Bangladesh’s power through cross‑border transmission lines. The trip is being investigated by technical teams to determine the cause and restore the connection. Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Power Development Board has issued a statement urging affected consumers to seek alternative sources.
Energy experts note that such disruptions can have ripple effects on industrial operations and household consumption in the region. Adani has pledged to expedite repairs and prevent future incidents, while the government of Bangladesh is reviewing contingency plans to mitigate similar outages.
The incident underscores the interdependence of India’s and Bangladesh’s power sectors and the need for robust infrastructure to support cross‑border energy trade.
