India Approves Power Exports to Nepal

India has approved the export of up to 654 megawatts of power to Nepal until December 31. This decision follows a devastating glacial flood last month that severely impacted Nepal's generation capacity and caused widespread destruction.

India approved emergency power exports of up to 654 megawatts to Nepal for 18 hours daily through December 31. The move follows a devastating glacial flood last month that wiped out about 10% of the Himalayan nation's generation capacity. The disaster has killed nearly 1,400 people and destroyed 12 hydropower plants, plunging the region into an acute energy shortage.
