Nepal-India official dialogue silent on landmark Pancheshwar project

The Hindu  

More than a month after India and Nepal signed the agreement on long-term power sharing, the two sides have not managed to make any forward movement on the stalled negotiations over the landmark Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project. “During the meeting, the two Foreign Secretaries held discussions on the entire range of multifaceted cooperation between India and Nepal and also followed up on the 7th India-Nepal Joint Commission Meeting which was co-chaired by the External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar and the Foreign Minister of Nepal H.E. However, the Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project is aimed at generating around 6,480 MW energy, along with water for irrigation of 130,000 hectares of land in Nepal and 240,000 hectares of Indian territory, respectively. India and Nepal had agreed to finalise the DPR within three months of the May-June 2023 India visit of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’.
