Energypac Engineering Ltd, one of Bangladesh’s leading power engineering companies, has exported power transformers and auxiliary substation equipment to the Nepal Electricity Authority under a contract worth $2.4 million.

This marked Energypac’s first export since the Covid-19 pandemic and signaled the resumption of its international business operations, said a press release issued on August 25.

The company had previously commissioned 25 substations for the Nepal Electricity Authority under various electrification projects financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank.

To commemorate this export milestone, senior officials of Energypac recently paid a courtesy call on Nepal ambassador Ghanshyam Bhandari at the Embassy of Nepal in Dhaka.

Discussions centred on the current trade scenario and explored opportunities to further strengthen bilateral economic cooperation between the two neighbouring countries.

As part of a wider month-long engagement campaign, Energypac is also hosting a series of events, including workshops, seminars, and stakeholder visits at its Dhaka facilities.

These have been attended by senior representatives from the commerce ministry, the Export Promotion Bureau, and regional utilities.

Energypac Engineering Ltd CEO Rabiul Alam said that as the company sought to restart its international operations after the Covid-19 pandemic and diversify its export markets, the shipment represented a significant milestone.

He said that it not only marked a new chapter for Energypac but also demonstrated the capability of Bangladesh’s engineering sector to meet global demand.

Rabiul mentioned that the company was proud to take Bangladeshi engineering beyond borders and into critical infrastructure projects across South Asia.

Before the pandemic, Energypac exported an average of $50 million annually and received multiple National Export Trophies in the gold category for electrical and electronic products.

This latest shipment supports national efforts to diversify Bangladesh’s exports in the light and electrical engineering sectors, while also contributing to industrial growth and strengthening regional partnerships, the release said.
