Nepal Expands Hydropower Projects for Regional Trade

Nepal has signed agreements to expand its hydropower capacity, with an aim to export electricity to neighboring India and Bangladesh.

Officials said the projects will generate thousands of megawatts over the next decade, boosting Nepal’s economy and reducing reliance on foreign aid.

For Nepali readers, this represents a milestone in energy independence. For Indian audiences, the focus is on how Nepal’s surplus electricity could strengthen South Asia’s regional energy grid.

Analysts say the agreements could transform Nepal into a key clean-energy hub in the region.
