After shedding its stake in Adani Power, the state can reassess its electricity supply strategies.

Tripura’s Chief Minister, Manik Saha, has revealed that Bangladesh owes the Indian state over Rs 200 crore in electricity dues. Saha expressed concerns that the outstanding amount is increasing daily, and if not cleared, it may disrupt power supply to the neighboring country. Tripura provides Bangladesh with 60-70 MW of electricity, and the contract was signed by the Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited and the Bangladesh Power Development Board. Saha also mentioned that equipment for the power plant was transported from Bangladesh and that providing electricity to Bangladesh is a gesture of appreciation. The Tripura government has not witnessed a significant influx of people from Bangladesh due to the recent attacks on minorities, but they are monitoring the situation closely. However, the CM has taken measures to handle security concerns and has arrested those involved in a security breach at the Bangladesh Assistant High Commission in Agartala. The downgrading of the Sheikh Hasina administration in Bangladesh has led to a decrease in the importation of products from Bangladesh, such as cement, stone chips, and Hilsa fish, resulting in a loss for the state.
