Centre for Policy Dialogue on Wednesday said 98 per cent allocation of the energy sector had been given to fossil fuels and only 2 per cent to renewable energy.
The local think-tank also said the allocation to renewable energy was disappointing in a discussion on the Proposed National Budget for FY2026-27: What is there on the Power and Energy Sector? in the capital.
CPD doubted that the government’s target of producing 20 per cent renewable energy by 2030.
It also said the favourable fiscal measures to Liquefied Natura Gas imports had been proposed.
Besides more coal production has also been set, added the CPD.
CPD research director Golam Moazzem said disparity in extension of incentives through tax measures towards different types of energy should be addressed before passing the proposed finance bill.
