He said this closeness was evident in the frequent interactions between him and the Bangladesh prime minister. During his visit to Bangladesh in 2015, Modi recalled, it had been decided to supply an additional 500MW of electricity to Bangladesh. With the completion of this project, Modi said, 1.16 gigawatt of power was now being supplied from India to Bangladesh. Sheikh Hasina, Modi, Mamata and Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb jointly inaugurated three projects in Bangladesh via videoconference on Monday. The projects include 500MW additional power supply through the existing Bheramara (Bangladesh) - Baharampur (India) interconnection; Kulaura-Shahbazpur Section Rehabilitation of Bangladesh Railway and Akhaura-Agartala Dual-Gauge Rail Connectivity (Bangladesh part).
