Nepal clears GMR plan for $1.4 billion hydroelectric plant - 2 views

Cai Z on 23 Sep 14In order to meet the demands of electricity in Nepal as well as export electricity to power-hungry India, the Nepal government agreed allow GMR to construct the 900-megawatt Upper Karnali hydroelectric power plant in the northwest. The project set for completion in 2021, which will provide 12 per cent energy free to Nepal to ease a crippling power shortage and help its economy emerge. An agreement was signed to construct transmission lines across the border to transmit the remaining electricity to India, which can help reducing the extreme scarcity of electricity in India. I agree with the project because this can decrease the scarcity level in both Nepal and India.
