Bangladesh is now receiving up to 40 MW of power from Nepal via India's grid, marking a significant milestone in sub-regional energy cooperation. This trilateral power transaction was made possible through a tripartite agreement among NTPC, Nepal Electricity Authority, and Bangladesh Power Development Board, signed in October 2024. The initiative follows commitments made during Nepal's Prime Minister Prachanda's visit to India in 2023, where both sides expressed their commitment to greater cooperation in the energy sector. This development highlights the growing collaboration among South Asian nations to meet their energy needs.
