The time of electricity import from India has been reduced by one hour. According to the Nepal Electricity Authority, there will be only 15 hours of import from Friday, while earlier 16 hours of import was used.

According to the authority, electricity can be imported from Friday from 6 am to 5 pm (solar hour) and from 2 pm to 6 am. India has given permission to import 600 MW electricity from 400 KV Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur line for 15 hours a day.

The executive director of the authority, Hitendradev Shakya, said that India's electricity import time has decreased by one hour. 'We will be lacking  And the power supply from India has been extended for two months till June,' he said, 'India has helped us in times of need, and we are very grateful for continuing the power supply for two more months even if it is one hour less.'

He said that the power cuts in the industrial sector will also decrease due to the increase in flow in the country's rivers and canals. "Until now, it was possible to import electricity for 16 hours a day, but now it is only possible to import electricity for 15 hours," he said, "from Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur, electricity can be imported from 6 am to 5 pm (solar hour) and from 2 pm to 6 am."

Earlier permission has been given to import 54 MW electricity from Tanakpur-Mahendranagar transmission line. The authority has been importing electricity from India to meet the domestic demand as the electricity production is less in winter.

Last December, when India allowed import of electricity in winter, India allowed import only for 20 hours a day till March 2 and during solar hours (from 6 am to 6 pm) from March 3.

After March 15, electricity was being imported for 16 hours a day. Electricity was being imported from 6 am to 5 pm and from 11 pm to 4 am.
