In the competitive energy sector, we are one of the reliable resources, and our core focus is on petroleum finished products and power generation. Providing our forces with government agencies, notably Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC), we are one of the pioneers in the market for importing and distributing energy solutions. With our international supplier affiliations, we focus on fulfilling the demand proportion set by BPC every year regarding petroleum finished products.
The primary day-to-day concentration of Transbangla Commodities is to navigate Bangladesh's fast-growing energy market, meeting around 85% of the country's demand for petroleum finished products through our affiliated international suppliers. With national demand for fuels, notably Gasoil, Jet Fuel, HSFO, and Mogas, which are consistently rising, we leverage the infrastructure and expertise to ensure flawless distribution and availability across Bangladesh.
Since 2008, we have led the way in importing and distributing finished petroleum products from international suppliers (shown by our consistent supply trend across Gasoil, Jet A-1, HSFO, and more).

To make an impact in Bangladesh’s electricity generation sector, we are one of the leaders who ensure steady supplies and meet the country’s growing electricity demands. Fuel oil plays a crucial role in Bangladesh&apo;s power generation landscape, standing as a critical resource alongside gas, coal, and HSD to meet the nation’s growing energy needs. The primary import—HSFO 180 CST—has steadily increased in volume over recent years, driven by the surging demand for electricity.
Currently, 61 fuel oil-based power plants are operational, contributing an impressive 6141 MW, which accounts for 22.7% of the national power generation capacity and around 20% of the country's daily power supply.
Since private companies own most of these plants, the import volume for privately managed facilities significantly surpasses that of state-owned plants. Transbangla Commodities and its sister concern work closely with private power providers in partnership with reputable international suppliers, supplying high-quality fuel oil and offering industry insights to support operational efficiency and business growth across Bangladesh's energy sector.
Coal is a vital resource in Bangladesh's energy sector, powering a significant portion of the nation's electricity generation. With a total capacity of 27,476 MW, coal contributes 7,000 MW—about 19% of the overall supply. The demand for coal is growing steadily, reflected in its rising contribution to power generation, from 7.88% in 2022 to 22.33% in 2024.
A range of power plants across the country rely on coal, with notable facilities including:
At Transbangla Commodities, we and our sister concerns are paving the way to establish a strong presence in coal import and trading with a commitment to addressing Bangladesh’s growing coal demand. Through our strategic business advisory approach, we are taking the first steps by collaborating with the internationally renowned company White Horse Coal Ltd. to bring innovation and a seamless coal supply chain to the country.
