No guarantee India would buy surplus power: Nepal PM
Kathmandu, November 16
Nepal PM Sher Bahadur Deuba on Tuesday underlined the need to increase domestic utilisation of hydropower for development activities, saying there was no guarantee India would buy the Himalayan nation’s surplus power.
“We need to utilise more and more hydropower within the country to speed up development activities and to fulfill the commitments made at COP 26,” Deuba said while addressing a meeting of the Independent Power Producers’ Association of Nepal here. “As there is no guarantee that India would purchase our surplus electricity, we should boost domestic consumption of hydroelectricity,” he said. — PTI
