Cross-Border Energy Trade Strengthens

Nepal has signed a new deal with India to increase electricity exports by 1,200 megawatts over the next five years. The agreement includes power generated from new hydropower projects in eastern Nepal.

Officials in Kathmandu said the exports will boost Nepal’s economy while also helping India meet its rising clean energy demand.

For Nepalese audiences, the development represents progress in energy diplomacy. For Indian readers, it highlights growing regional cooperation in renewable energy that could reduce reliance on coal.
