The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has decided to sell 86 megawatts of surplus electricity to India during the rainy season, when power generation exceeds domestic demand.
The electricity will be sold in the Indian market through Tata Power Trading Company Limited via India's power exchange, according to NEA board member Anshukiran Shahi.
