The government is going to install a high-voltage transmission gridline up to Chapai Nawabganj frontier, as it has decided to import power from Indian state of Jharkhand, officials said.

The Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) will lay a 28-kilometre-long 400-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from Rahanpur to Monakosha border of Chapai Nawabganj district at a cost of Tk 2.25-billion.

The gridline will be installed to import electricity from the under-construction 2X800 megawatts (MW) power plant in Jhrakhand, next to Chapai Nawabganj border, they also said.

Currently, Bangladesh is importing 1,160 MW of electricity from India, of which 1,000 MW comes from West Bengal through Bhreramara substation and 160 MW from Tripura through Cumilla.
