Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani has written a letter to the Chief Adviser of the Interim government Dr. Muhammad Yunus asking him to make payment of the dues for sale of electricity to Bangladesh Power Development Board(BPDB).
On Tuesday (September 10), the Indian media Hindustan Times reported this information.
According to the report, the Indian businessman sought the intervention of the head of government in a letter to pay the 80 crore dollars owed to the Bangladesh Power Development Board.
In the letter, Gautam Adani wrote, "We are fulfilling our promises to Bangladesh, at a time when creditors are being tough on us. We request you to intervene for the speedy payment of the 80 crore dollars we get to the Bangladesh Power Development Board.
He also wrote that he is also requesting to pay the dues due to the sale of electricity on a regular basis.
Adani Power reportedly owes the Bangladesh Power Development Board 80 crore in arrears for eight to nine months of power supply.
Since last June, Adani Power has been supplying power to Bangladesh through a dedicated transmission corridor from its 1.6 GW coal-fired power plant in Jharkhand, India.
Adani Power has invested 2 billion dollars in building a state-of-the-art plant and associated transmission infrastructure, Gautam Adani said. I reiterate my commitment to Bangladesh's energy security and infrastructure development, he said.
