India’s POWERGRID and the Nepal Electricity Authority have signed Joint Venture and Shareholders’ Agreements to develop high-capacity cross-border power transmission infrastructure.
The proposed projects include the Inaruwa (Nepal) – New Purnea (India) 400 kV Double Circuit (Quad Moose) Transmission Link and the Lamki (Dododhara) (Nepal) – Bareilly (India) 400 kV Double Circuit (Quad Moose) Transmission Link.
