N2  - Despite the upliftment of the society, energy is playing a pervasive role that accelerates the socio-economic progress of a nation. There is no way to disagree that almost every economic activity is backed by energy. Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. With the recent attribute of ?New Asian Tiger? and the aim to become a middle-income nation by 2021, the country has been enlisted in the ?Next Eleven? economies. Bangladesh has ensured constant GDP growth, net power generation growth and growth in industrial production last few years. 
The aim of the paper is to deliver an essence of up-to-date energy-mix and overall energy scenario of Bangladesh. The paper investigates what is the overall energy scenario of Bangladesh and is there any relation among the real GDP growth, net power generation growth, industrial production growth (manufacturing, mining & construction) for Bangladesh? The paper suggests that in the short run there is a significant relationship between GDP Growth Rate and Industrial Production Growth Rate in Bangladesh. Moreover, the paper indicates that there is a significant increase in Net Electricity Generation which is influencing industrial production growth in Bangladesh. In addition to that it postulates some suggestions for the power sector for coming days.
