State Minister for Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said Bangladesh and India have a huge opportunity to work together for the development of the power and energy sector. “We want to import 9,000MW of electricity from neighbouring countries. The process to import hydro-electricity from Nepal and Bhutan has advanced,” Hamid said when the Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Pranay Verma called on him at his office in the ministry. He also informed the Indian envoy a deal is likely to be signed next month to import 40 MW of hydropower from Nepal. He said that the import of 500 MW of electricity from Nepal through Indian company GMR is almost final while the import of renewable energy is also in progress. The import and export from Meghalaya, Tripura, or Assam can be discussed.
