Throughout the reporting period and beyond, the Company's Dhaka-based team has maintained contact with the relevant government agencies and there is credible evidence that the "new plans" cited by the Honourable Prime Minister are being framed and that such plans are addressing domestic coal extraction and exploration efforts for new gas. This is exciting news for the Company, the Project and its Shareholders and efforts are being made to ensure we are in the strongest position to engage with the newly elected government within the 1st Quarter 2024 and deliver the Project Proposal which includes a large-scale Solar Power Park as an adjunct.
It’s comparing coal with India and Indonesia. The BTU which is home much the coal burns for Bangladesh coal is 12002 BTU compared to Indonesia which is 7308 BTU.
The sulphar which is the hazardous chemical for Bangladesh is only 0.67 compared to Indonesia which is 4.34 and India , it’s 2.32.
By looking at these figures , it’s absolutely clear that Bangladesh has the best coal!!
Yes, once the NEDs situation is sorted and I too am confident this will happen. Looking forward to seeing the share price where it should be!

For the sake of economy, we should go for the exploration of our own resources, including gas and coal. Keeping our own resources unused, it is not acceptable to make the power and energy sector import-dependent,’ Shamim added.
