The Ministry of Power confirmed that India will provide Nepal with an 18‑hour daily power supply as a relief measure following the severe flooding that crippled Nepal’s hydropower facilities. The decision, announced by senior officials in New Delhi, underscores the bilateral cooperation between the two neighbours in the wake of the natural disaster.
The arrangement will remain in effect until the end of December, delivering electricity for 18 hours each day to the affected regions of Nepal. No monetary transaction was disclosed, and the supply will be coordinated through existing cross‑border transmission lines managed by both countries.
The floods earlier this year devastated large sections of Nepal’s river‑based power generation, leaving millions without reliable electricity and hampering economic activity. By augmenting Nepal’s power availability, India aims to alleviate immediate hardships for households and businesses while reinforcing its strategic partnership with Nepal in the energy sector.
