Overview
- The Parbatipur depot, which began receiving the new 5,000-tonne batch Thursday, reported steady inflow through the India–Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline.
- Officials said an earlier 8,000 tonnes arrived on April 14 after 22,000 tonnes in March, bringing deliveries to roughly 30,000 tonnes between March and mid‑April.
- Depot managers expect about 7,000 more tonnes within four to five days, and they project around 25,000 tonnes to land in April.
- Staff kept the Parbatipur site open on a public holiday to keep fuel moving to stations, which helps prevent shortages for drivers and farmers.
- Numaligarh Refinery in Assam supplies the fuel through a line built to carry about 1 million tonnes a year, and local reports say Dhaka has also sought about USD 2 billion from development partners for immediate energy needs.
