Karmadev (Indo-Nepal Border)-Phukot (Kalikot)

400 KV Double Circuit Karnali Corridor Tl & Associated Substations

Plantation Area by the project

The Karmadev (Indo-Nepal Border) – Phukot (Kalikot) 400 kV Double Circuit Karnali Corridor Transmission Line and associated Substations Project is designed to evacuate power generated in the Karnali River Basin. The line originates from the Phukot Substation in Kalikot District, passes through the Betan Substation in Surkhet District and the Dododhara Substation in Kailali District, and terminates at Karmadev, where a cross-border connection with India is proposed. This transmission line will play a crucial role in integrating Karnali Basin hydropower into the national grid and facilitating power export through the Indo-Nepal border.
