India has decided to allow Nepal to sell an additional 325 MW of electricity in the competing Indian market.

During a press conference organized at the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation on Wednesday, Minister Pampha Bhusal said that India has given permission to sell 325 MW of electricity to its market.

Earlier, India had given permission to sell 39 MW of electricity while Nepal had been urging India to buy additional electricity.

During his visit to India, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi had held a discussion on the buying and selling of electricity.

Following the discussion, the India’s Energy Ministry gave a permission to sell electricity to the Indian market from the Nepal Electricity Authority.

Nepal has been buying electricity from India at present.
