India Approves Up to 654 MW Power Export to Nepal Until December 31 After Floods
India has approved the export of up to 654 MW of electricity to Nepal for 18 hours daily until December 31, 2026, to support recovery after devastating floods damaged Nepal's hydropower infrastructure. The power will be supplied mainly through the Muzaffarpur-Dhalkebar and Tanakpur-Mahendranagar transmission lines. This arrangement aims to help Nepal meet its immediate power shortfall and strengthen bilateral energy cooperation. The export volume from January 2027 will be reviewed in December 2026. India has also provided humanitarian aid and technical support for flood relief efforts.
