India is looking to sell 500 MW of electricity to Pakistan by establishing a transmission link between the two countries. “A group of experts of India and Pakistan met in Islamabad last month to explore the possibility of a 500 MW cross-border transmission inter-connection between India and Pakistan for transmission of power that may be sourced by Pakistan from the Indian electricity market on commercial basis,” Minister of State for Power KC Venugopal informed the Rajya Sabha on Monday, reported PTI. Electricity from central and state generating stations supplying power to distribution companies was not proposed to be diverted to Pakistan, he said. Mode of transmission is proposed to be transmission interconnection and the duration of transmission of electricity would depend on the contractual arrangement of trade.
