State-run NTPC expects to sign a joint venture agreement for the 1,320-Mw Khulna power project in Bangladesh by the end of this month.

The project would be a 50:50 JV between NTPC and the Bangladesh government.

NTPC and Bangladesh Power Development Board ((BPDB) had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in August last year to establish two thermal power projects at Chittagong and Khulna for mitigating the power shortages in the neighbouring nation.

The power plants are likely to come up at an investment of around Rs 13,200 crore.

The coal-fired power plants are likely to be installed on a 50:50 equity basis to be run on imported coal and operated by NTPC.

The construction of the project is likely to start by April next year.

A 50:50 Joint Venture company between NTPC and Ceylon Electricity Board, Sri Lanka, was incorporated in the name of Trincomalee Power Company Ltd on September 26, last year in Sri Lanka that would set up a 2x250-Mw coal based power project in Trincomalee region.
