 India and Nepal share a unique and age-old relationship of friendship and cooperation. The strength of bilateral cooperation is also visible in the power sector where India and Nepal are working on several aspects such as development of generation projects, power transmission infrastructure and power trade. Today, India and Nepal are marking yet another milestone in this field through inauguration of the Solu Corridor project. Solu Corridor is a 90-kilometer long, 132-kilovolt double-circuit power transmission line and substation project. It is implemented by Nepal Electricity Authority and financed by India's line of credit extended through the Exim Bank of India. The Solu Corridor connects relatively remote Solukhumbu, Khotang and Okuldunga districts of Nepal with the National Electricity Grid. It will evacuate electricity from hydro projects in these areas into the National Grid and also supply the rural electrification networks. As one of Nepal's iconic infrastructure projects, Solu Corridor is yet another symbol of India's commitment to the development partnership with Nepal as part of the Neighborhood First Policy.
