The Story in Brief
India is examining Bangladesh's request for additional diesel supplies amid an energy crisis in the neighbouring country. The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed an ongoing arrangement for diesel supply but said any extra request would be reviewed keeping India's own needs in mind.
NDTV.com reports that Bangladesh, which has faced power outages and fuel shortages, is seeking more energy support from New Delhi. No timeline for a decision has been given.

The concrete test is whether India's own diesel reserves are comfortable enough to spare a few lakh tonnes for Bangladesh. Who gets priority, a neighbour in need or domestic consumers?
