Food production lines slow, ceramic kilns go cold, steel mills cut output as drugmakers juggle energy sources to keep plants running

Tarique Rahman says his government is working to address inherited energy problems and warns that the law will be enforced against attempts to create unrest

BNP leader says opposition parties should explain how they would secure gas and electricity instead of merely announcing programmes

Bangladesh must urgently prioritise domestic gas exploration over costly, volatile LNG imports to ensure long-term energy security.

A trivial thought keeps pestering me like a mosquito on a humid Dhaka night -- how many burners does a kitchen actually boast, and why does it feel like the answer might upend my peace of mind?

Demonstrators form human chain and hold torch procession, warning of tougher action if supply disruptions persist

Production suffers, cooking at home stalls, power generation plummets

Gas crisis that has lasted for more than a month is disrupting production across industrial belts

For the past several weeks, the effects of the country’s gas crisis have been felt everywhere: factories struggling with inadequate pressure in supply lines, filling stations facing long queues, households receiving little or no pipeline gas, and power plants unable to generate at their full capacity.

The technical faults in one of the two floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs) in Bangladesh, detected on July 21 this year, have had a cascading effect on various sectors.

100 small and large textile factories are operating by burning wood due to gas shortage and rising prices of textile waste

The impact of the gas crisis that began on July 21 is spreading across the country’s industrial belts, with factories cutting production, shutting units and sending workers on leave.

Factory owners said gas pressure had declined gradually before the current crisis, forcing them to operate in shifts

We need somewhere between 3,800 and 4,000 million cubic feet of gas a day, but actually get closer to 2,600 MMCFD

Bangladesh’s gas supply situation has improved from the severe shortages seen last week, but industries are yet to see a meaningful recovery as a larger share of the limited supply is now being diverted to power plants.

It will take at least two years to fully fix Bangladesh’s power and gas shortages, Finance and Planning Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury said yesterday.

Drivers say they are waiting up to three days for gas as supply disruption leaves fewer vehicles on the roads

Bangladesh’s LNG supply has recovered with both floating terminals at Maheshkhali back in operation, but the gas crisis is unlikely to ease significantly, with combined LNG send-out expected to remain at around 70 percent of the two terminals’ combined capacity over this week at least.

Supply fell to around half of the city’s daily requirement as LNG operations disrupted at Maheshkhali
