Seti River Nepal

Seti River

India is to develop two hydropower projects in Nepal, namely the West Seti Hydropower Project and the Seti River Hydropower Project.

About the Project

The MoU to establish the 1200 MW project was signed by Investment Board Nepal and National Hydro Power Corporation Ltd (India).
Benefits: Year-round power production is a result of the projects. India will receive power through its national grid, either for internal use or export.
Background: A joint venture to develop the project was established in 2017 by China Three Gorges International Corporation. In 2018, it withdrew from the project.
Other names for the Seti Gandaki River include Seti River and Seti Khola.
Western Nepal is home to the Seti River.
It comes from the glaciers around the twin peaks of Api and Nampa on the southern Himalayan range's slopes. The region is close to the intersection of the borders of China, Nepal, and India (Uttarakhand).
Finally, the river merges with the longest river in Nepal, the Karnali or Ghagra River.

Power projects between India and Nepal

An estimated 83,000 MW of electricity might be produced in Nepal.
India and Nepal began working together in 2013 when Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN) and GMR Energy were given the go-ahead to develop 900 MW projects in Nepal.
An earlier agreement between India and Nepal called for the construction of the 695-megawatt Arun IV hydroelectric power project on the Arun River in Nepal.
