The interim government seems to be offtrack from its political commitment of meeting the 3-Zero Target, in the national budget for FY2026, stressed the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD) during a dialogue held in Dhaka recently.

Energy Sector Fails to Meet Energy Transition Expectations in Budget

According to CPD's analysis, the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) remains in persistent loss, requiring a BDT 37,000 crore subsidy in FY2025-26-41 per cent of the national subsidy allocation.

Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC), despite posting a BDT 2,050 crore profit in FY2024-25, is forecasted to see profits shrink to BDT 615 crore. LNG import subsidies have also increased to BDT 9,000 crore from BDT 6,000 crore in the previous year.
