During talks between External Affairs Minister S M Krishna, who is here on a three-day visit, and Premier Madhav Kumar Nepal yesterday, India agreed to supply an additional 30 MW of power, the Prime Minister's Foreign Affairs Adviser Rajan Bhattarai said.

Nepal currently imports 20 MW of electricity from India from the Tanakpur barrage situated in the Indo-Nepal border.

Besides the additional 30 MW of power which India has agreed to provide, Nepal has requested for another 30 MW of electricity to deal with the power deficit, Bhattarai said.

At present, Kathmandu and other major cities of the country are going through an eight-hour electricity cut daily due to the low level of water in the reservoirs of the major power stations of Nepal.
