An additional 8,000 metric tons of diesel has reached Dinajpur’s Parbatipur Railhead Oil Depot through the India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline from Numaligarh Refinery Limited in India.
Officials confirmed that the fuel consignment was officially received early Saturday.
Kazi Md Robiul Alam, Manager (Operations) at Meghna Petroleum Limited, said the unloading of the shipment was completed late at night and preparations are now underway for the next delivery.
With this latest supply, Bangladesh has started receiving its planned fuel imports for April through the pipeline, reflecting ongoing progress in energy cooperation between the two countries.
Another 5,000 metric tons of diesel is expected to arrive on April 17 through the same pipeline.
Officials added that a total of 40,000 metric tons of fuel is scheduled to be imported in April through four separate consignments.
