Adani Power Plant unit shutdown leads to increased load-shedding in Bangladesh

One unit of the Adani coal-fired power plant in Jharkhand, India, was shut down due to a technical failure involving a bearing, reducing electricity supply to Bangladesh by approximately 750 MW. This has exacerbated the power crisis, causing national load-shedding to reach 2,500 MW during a heatwave, impacting public life and hospital operations.
