News Summary:

Bangladesh’s mobile telecommunications sector faces severe operational stress as prolonged electricity shortages and tightening fuel supplies push network infrastructure into heavy generator dependence, raising fears of large-scale communication disruption, according to reports on April 22, 2026. This follows news from April 21, 2026, indicating weakening mobile signals and daily struggles for phone calls in some villages due to power cuts lasting less than five hours a day. Earlier, on April 11, 2026, K&Q Bangladesh Limited entered a direct operator billing agreement with Robi Axiata Limited to facilitate voucher sales for digital services like Netflix and Google Pay, aiming to strengthen K&Q's revenue and accelerate growth. The broader telecom sector in Bangladesh experienced a slight fall in total mobile phone subscribers in December 2025, primarily due to new limits on SIM ownership per individual, as reported on February 26, 2026. Previously, on February 19, 2026, Robi Axiata reported a record profit of Tk 9.37 billion in 2025, marking a more than 33 percent year-on-year jump, attributed to a lower impact from currency devaluation and reduced operating expenses, despite a marginal 1 percent revenue growth to Tk 99.92 billion.
