Bangladesh accepts 127% higher cost for Chinese power after contesting India's minor tariff increase
Bangladesh is set to compensate a Chinese company at a rate of Taka (Tk) 25 per unit for electricity generated from a waste-to-energy facility. This figure is roughly 127% greater than the Tk 11 per unit the nation paid for electricity imported from India during the 2026 fiscal year. This development follows a recent dispute where Bangladesh pushed back against a proposed ₹0.01 per unit fee from India for processing cross-border power transactions. Following the objection, India reduced the suggested rate to ₹0.005 per unit.
