Bangladesh, Sept. 11 -- A unit of the 1,600-megawatt Adani power plant in India's Jharkhand has shut down following "technical fault" that further tightened Bangladesh's power-supply situation amid ongoing gas, coal and liquid-fuel shortages.

Sources say the shutdown has cut down the plant's generation by more than half.

The plant was generating more than 1,400 megawatts on Thursday night before one of its units went offline around midnight.

By Friday noon, its generation had fallen to 736mw, according to sources at Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) and Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB).

At 3:00am on Thursday, grid supply came down to 12,907 megawatts against 15,776 MWs in demand, leaving a 2,869mw shortfall.
