Dated 19th Sept 2011

The issue Cross Border Electrical Interconnection between

India and Bangladesh have been discussed from long

before but it has got momentum during the visit of Four

member’s Indian delegations headed by Joint Secretary

Power to Bangladesh from 22nd November to 26th

November 2009.

After that MOU was signed between the Governments of

Bangladesh & India for Cooperation in Power Sector on 11

Jan 2010.

Overview:

Keeping in view the technical consideration and reliable operation of both the

System Baharampur (India)–Bheramara (Bangladesh) option was taken for

implementation after several visit & study by the joint technical committee.

Total Scope of the Project:

1. Establishment of 400kV Switching Station at Baharampur (India)

by LILO of Farakka-Jeerat 400kV single circuit line

2. Baharampur (India) – Ishurdi/Bheramara (Bangladesh) 400kV

double circuit line (85km in Indian part & 30km in Bangladesh)

3. Installation of HVDC back-to-back station (400/230 kV) at

Ishurdi/Bheramara (Bangladesh).
