Nepal will export only 40 megawatts (MW) of electricity to Bangladesh from June 15, as India has not granted approval for an additional 20 MW export, energy officials said.
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) of India has withheld approval due to transmission line capacity constraints.
Officials added that further procedures, including a revised or new tripartite agreement and a decision from the Nepal-India Energy Secretary-level Joint Steering Committee (JSC), are still required, reports The Kathmandu Post.
Nepal has been exporting surplus electricity to India and Bangladesh during the monsoon season. In winter, however, it imports electricity from India.
