  2. Introduction Adani Power, which is one of the major subsidiaries of the Adani Group, has assured Bangladesh that it will continue to maintain an uninterrupted power supply to the country despite the country's outstanding payments. The dues currently surpass 800 million USD. However, the company has already asked the interim government of Bangladesh to clear the settlement of these dues so that the power supply can continue without any hindrance. This request comes as Adani Group has started facing increased pressure from its lenders for clearing the payments which are mainly associated with the construction of the Adani Godda power plant which is set up in Jharkhand and is responsible for supplying power to Bangladesh.

  3. Adani's Power Project in Bangladesh Adani Power, one of the biggest power producers and suppliers in India, has always been keen on taking up International ventures in different corners of the world. Time and again, the business group took up multiple ventures which have caused its business to experience extraordinary growth and development. One of its biggest projects has been the Adani Godda project. It is the first transnational project being taken up by the Adani Group. The Adani Godda power plant which is situated in Jharkhand is supposed to supply power to Bangladesh from India in an uninterrupted way. An exclusive contract has been signed with the Bangladesh Power Development Board according to which the power will be supplied from the Adani Godda power plant to the Bangladesh area. The power purchase agreement (PPA) was signed for 25 years between the two dedicated parties committing Adani Group to supply approximately 10% of the country’s peak power demands from its plant. Now this has been one of the most incredible projects being taken up by the Adani Group. It has helped strengthen the Adani Group's ties with its neighboring nation. It has also caused the Adani Group's business to experience extraordinary growth.

  4. Adani's Commitment To Supply Uninterrupted Electricity The Adani Godda power project was made out of a total investment of 2 billion USD. This project bills BPDB an average of 90 to 100 million USD monthly for supplying power to Bangladesh. Since June 2023, the plant has been consistently supplying electricity to Bangladesh. Although there has been a decrease in net debt and finance costs for Adani Power and the company has witnessed a sharp drop in its profit, it continues to supply uninterrupted power to Bangladesh. The Adani Group also manages edible oil refineries and rice packing units in Bangladesh. Because of the initiatives taken up by the Adani Group in Bangladesh, the country's economy experienced a boost. Bangladesh was able to meet its growing power demands. The lives of the people of Bangladesh also changed for the better. The international relationships between India and Bangladesh also strengthened to a considerable extent.

  5. The Recent Economic Difficulties Over the past few months, Bangladesh has succumbed to economic difficulties with its foreign exchange reserves. Because of this, the country's dues have been mounting. A lot of projects had to come to a halt. The people have also started facing a lot of challenges because of the ongoing financial difficulties. However, the Adani Group did not stop from its commitment to supply electricity to the counter. It continued to carry out its project operations and supply power. However, there has been increased pressure from the lenders as well which has caused the Adani Group to repeatedly urge Bangladesh to clear the power bills. In case the dues aren't cleared, the Adani Group may have to discontinue supplying power to Bangladesh. This will again bring about economic difficulty to the region. Its power scarcity will once again increase, causing its industrial activities to suffer.
