Bangladesh owes Tripura Rs 200 crore in unpaid electricity bills

Bangladesh owes Tripura Rs 200 crore in electricity dues but no decision has been taken on halting power supply to the neighbouring country yet, Chief Minister Manik Saha said on Monday.

Tripura supplies 60-70 megawatts of power to the neighbouring country according to an agreement signed by the Tripura State Electricity Corporation



Limited through the NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Limited with the Bangladesh Power Development Board.

“Bangladesh has not paid us about Rs 200 crore for supplying electricity. The outstanding (amount) is increasing every day. We hope that they will clear their dues so that the power supply is not disrupted,” Saha told PTI here in an interview.
