The West Bengal government, which is currently selling 250 megawatts (MW) of power to Bangladesh, has approached the Central government seeking clearance to sell an additional 1,000 MW of power to the neighbouring country, a minister said on Friday. "We have been selling 250 MW of power to Bangladesh and we want to sell additional 1000 MW to our neighbouring country. We have approached the Centre for giving clearance to us to sell the additional power," state Power Minister Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay said.
