Decreased Indian supply increases Nepal's loadshedding

The Nepal Electricity Authority has increased loadshedding by 46 hours per week.

 

The officials said India had reduced supply to Nepal by 35 Megawatts forcing NEA to increase the power cuthours. The other reason, NEA said, was that the water level in Kulekhani reservoir was lesser than anticipateddue to lesser than normal rainfall.
