Bangladesh orders shops to close early to ease power crisis

The Indian Opinion

This is not a sudden policy fiat but a symptom of Bangladesh's over-reliance on imported gas and coal for power generation. The narrative of a 'crisis' is accurate, but some Indian outlets may overplay a 'neighbour in trouble' angle for alarmism. The real test is whether Bangladesh can shift to domestic renewables like solar, which now faces a tariff debate. Will Dhaka also extend this curfew to its garment factories, which account for most of its grid load? That answer will show the true depth of the crisis.
