Nepal Seeks Early Power Imports from India After Flood Damage; India Processes Requests
Following severe flash floods that damaged Nepal's power infrastructure, Nepal has requested India to advance approvals for electricity imports starting September, earlier than the usual winter period. Indian officials confirm they are processing these requests and are prepared to supply additional power as needed. Nepal's generation capacity has declined by about 550 MW, reducing its power exports to India by approximately 400 MW. Despite this, India's national grid remains stable, with no need for emergency measures, and cross-border transmission projects continue as planned.
