Nepal to Receive Up to 654 MW Power from India After Flood Crisis
What Happened
India has approved the export of up to 654 MW of electricity to Nepal for 18 hours a day from September 13 to December 31, 2026. The decision comes after devastating floods damaged Nepal's hydropower infrastructure, wiping out around 10% of its power generation capacity and creating electricity shortages.
Key Takeaways
The move provides crucial relief to Nepal during its recovery from the flood disaster while reinforcing India-Nepal energy cooperation. The power supply arrangement will be reviewed in December for exports beyond 2026.
