Electricity generated in Nepal will now reach Bangladesh via the Indian grid, marking the first trilateral power transaction, reports UNB.

Md. Fouzul Kabir Khan, Adviser to Bangladesh’s Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources; Haryana Chief Minister and Indian Minister for Power, and Housing and Urban Affairs, Manohar Lal Khattar; and Dipak Khadka, Nepal's Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation jointly inaugurated the historic milestone in regional energy cooperation.
