Government plans South Asian power grid
To utilise the country’s sizeable power generation capacity, the government is planning to connect more neighbouring countries through a regional power grid which can be used to supply electricity to surrounding nations without adequate number of power plants.
Speaking at an event here on Monday, Union power minister RK Singh said that apart from Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar and Bangladesh, which already take power from India, there are plans to connect Sri Lanka with power transmission lines as well.
