Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) earned a total of ₹1,165.37 crore over a decade by exporting power to Bangladesh, according to a report from The Economic Times.
Tripura State Electricity Corporation Limited (TSECL) has reported a cumulative earning of ₹1,165.37 crore from its electricity supply to Bangladesh over the past ten years, as disclosed in a recent Economic Times article.
The figure reflects the long‑standing cross‑border power agreement between Tripura and Bangladesh, which has been a key component of the region’s energy strategy. By exporting surplus electricity, TSECL has not only generated substantial revenue but also strengthened diplomatic ties through energy cooperation.
On average, the annual revenue from the Bangladesh contracts has hovered around ₹116 crore, with the terms allowing for flexible load management and tariff adjustments based on market conditions. The arrangement has been renewed periodically, underscoring its mutual benefit.
The earnings are poised to boost Tripura’s fiscal health, providing additional resources for infrastructure development and social welfare programs. Analysts suggest that the continued partnership could open avenues for further energy projects in the northeastern corridor.
