An agreement was signed to this effect in New Delhi on Thursday between Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) and state-owned NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN).
The import of power -- 80 MW immediately from January and 160 MW from February -- will be made through Dhalkebar- Mujjafpur Cross Border Transmission line which was inaugurated in February, said a press release issued by he NEA, Nepal's state-owned organisation.
The new agreement on power purchase from India would to some extent address the problem of blackouts across the country, the NEA said in the statement.
To deal with this situation, Nepal in September signed an agreement with India to import additional 250 MW electricity.
