Nepal\u2019s Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, H.E. Kulman Ghising, met with India\u2019s Union Minister for Power and Housing &amp; Urban Affairs, Manohar Lal, in New Delhi today to review and expand ongoing collaboration in the power sector.<\/p>\n<p>The two ministers held strategic discussions on advancing hydropower development in Nepal, expanding cross-border transmission networks, and promoting clean energy integration across South Asia. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to a resilient and interconnected regional power grid to facilitate electricity trade and ensure long-term energy security.<\/p>\n<p>In the presence of the two ministers, Joint Venture and Shareholders\u2019 Agreements (JV&amp;SHA) were signed between POWERGRID Corporation of India Limited\u2014a Maharatna Central Public Sector Enterprise\u2014and the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA). The agreements pave the way for establishing two joint venture entities, one each in India and Nepal, to develop major high-voltage cross-border transmission links.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4254\" src=\"https:\/\/thefrontpage24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/IMG_1820.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"489\" height=\"254\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The new projects include the Inaruwa (Nepal)\u2013New Purnea (India) 400 kV Double Circuit (Quad Moose) Transmission Line and the Lamki (Dododhara) (Nepal)\u2013Bareilly (India) 400 kV Double Circuit (Quad Moose) Transmission Line. Once operational, these transmission corridors will significantly increase electricity exchange capacity between the two countries, improve grid stability, and create new opportunities for power trade and renewable energy integration.<\/p>\n<p>Officials from both sides emphasized that the new power links will not only strengthen regional grid resilience but also foster economic growth through greater energy access and investment in clean infrastructure. The projects are expected to support India\u2019s and Nepal\u2019s shared goals of sustainable energy development and low-carbon growth.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s meeting and the signing of the agreements mark a new phase in the India\u2013Nepal energy partnership, building upon decades of friendship, mutual trust, and cooperation. Both governments reiterated their commitment to deepening energy collaboration under the vision of \u201cPowering South Asia Together,\u201d contributing to a stable and prosperous regional energy future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agreements signed between POWERGRID and Nepal Electricity Authority to boost regional grid connectivity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4253,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[116,23,255,27],"tags":[725,256],"class_list":["post-4252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-international","category-ministry-of-power","category-national","tag-india-and-nepal-tie-on-cross-border-power-connectivity","tag-ministry-of-power"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
