On the interactive map
Internal 400 kV within Nepal is being build which will allow the NTC for the existing 400 kV line into India (Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur) to be increased to 1 GW (agreements are in place). This 300 MW of additional NTC is added as new planned capacity for 2024. There are a number of low voltage lines existing between IND and NPL yet are not connected to the main grids and hence not included (capacities are also unknown).
