India is not only meeting its own energy needs, but is also earning huge foreign exchange by supplying electricity to its neighboring countries. India exports large amounts of electricity to countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Myanmar. Many major Indian companies, including India's Adani Power, sell large quantities of electricity to Bangladesh. But due to inability to pay bills on time, power supply to Bangladesh from their project at Godda in Jharkhand has been reduced. Bangladesh's limited foreign exchange reserves also make it difficult to import coal and gas from the international market. In this context, let us know which countries India supplies electricity to.

Bangladesh is the biggest buyer

India sells most of its electricity to Bangladesh. Bangladesh is the largest buyer of Indian electricity. In return, India receives more than 1 billion dollars annually from Bangladesh.

These countries are also included in the list

Nepal – There is a two-way trade in electricity between Nepal and India. In winter, when Nepal has water shortages and hydropower production declines, India sells electricity to Nepal. Similarly, when production increases during the monsoon, Nepal sells electricity back to India.

Bhutan – India sells power to Bhutan to meet winter power shortages, while importing hydropower from Bhutan on other days. Due to the high flow of rivers in Bhutan, hydropower generation is huge between May and November. During this period, Bhutan earns revenue by selling surplus electricity to India.

Myanmar – India also sells a limited amount of electricity to Myanmar through cross-border grid connectivity.

Discussions are also underway with Sri Lanka

High-level review meetings are underway between India and Sri Lanka to lay undersea transmission lines and expand power trade. Both the countries are also reviewing the entire solar power project to promote energy security and renewable energy.
