Bangladesh asks India for passage to buy Nepal’s energy

The Guidelines for Import/Export (Cross Border) of Electricity-2018 could be used for the trade of power between Nepal and Bangladesh, Indian authorities reportedly assured the Bangladeshi delegation.

Bangladesh has requested India for a power transmission corridor to import electricity generated in Nepal. Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who wrapped up her four-day official visit to India on Thursday, took up the matter with her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi, seeking New Delhi’s permission to use the Indian territory for power transmission.
