KATHMANDU, Sept 30: The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has received permission from India for the first time to sell electricity in India's Energy Exchange (IX) real-time market. Until now, NEA has been selling electricity in India’s day-ahead competitive market through a bidding process. Now on, it will be able to participate in the bidding process one hour and 15 minutes before selling the electricity in the real-time market.

KATHMANDU, Nov 3: After years-long efforts made by the Government of Nepal, the doors have now been opened to sell electricity produced in Nepal to the Indian market. Earlier, India used to take only the surplus electricity from Nepal. Now, electricity generated in Nepal has been allowed to be sold at competitive rates in the Indian market.
