India Approves Up to 654 MW Power Export to Nepal Until December 2026
India has approved the export of up to 654 MW of electricity to Nepal for 18 hours daily until December 31, 2026, to help offset power shortages caused by recent devastating flash floods that damaged Nepal's hydropower infrastructure. The power will be supplied mainly through the Muzaffarpur-Dhalkebar and Tanakpur-Mahendranagar transmission lines. Despite India's unusually high domestic power demand due to weather and reduced renewable generation, the government affirmed its commitment to supporting Nepal and strengthening bilateral energy cooperation. The export volume will be reviewed in December 2026.
