New Delhi, September 14 (TNA) The Ministry of Power has accorded approval for the export of power for 18 hours a day (00:00 hours to 18:00 hours) to Nepal Electricity Authority from 13 September 2026 to 31 December 2026.
Approval has been given for up to 600 MW of export through Muzaffarpur - Dhalkebar 400 kV D/c line and up to 54 MW through Tanakpur - Mahendranagar 132 kV S/c line. The quantum of power to be exported from January 2027 will be reviewed in December 2026.
The recent floods have caused significant damage to hydropower infrastructure in Nepal, reducing its domestic power generation capacity and creating an additional requirement for electricity.
The approval will help Nepal meet its power requirements during this difficult period and further strengthen the close and longstanding energy cooperation between India and Nepal.
