| dc.description.alternativeAbstract | Abstract Nepal is one of the most trade dependent countries in South Asia. India is the major trading partner of Nepal. Because of geographical proximity, trade with India is more convenient than with any other neighboring countries. Trade relation between India and Nepal has a long history. However, despite of all the trade treaties between two countries, India rejoices the economies of scale where as Nepal is facing a severe trade deficit. According to the “Nepal Quarterly Economic Update” published by Asian Development Bank, total export to India decreased by 5.4% and to total imports from India rose 2.7% this year. Through this thesis, I have tried to analyze the problems of bilateral trade in electricity between two countries and what are the significances of the trade. If Nepal continues trading with India then what would be the future prospects of Nepalese economy. The main objectives of the study are to a) Review of Nepal and India electricity trade relation b) Analysis of the electricity market growth of both nations c) Study of Nepal’s water resources as a comparative advantage d) Analysis of the impact of electricity trade, in particular, in improving trade relation in terms of friendly and historical relationship between the two countries. e). Identify the problems and scope and areas of improvement in Indo-Nepal electricity trade relations. Economic growth of Nepal on the basis of hydroelectricity trade is the primary focus of the study. The electricity deficit has the major role in economy growth of the country. At the present context, Nepal and India electricity trade is based on the intra industry trade theory but it will no longer exists in the future when Nepal will only export the hydroelectricity to India. With available data I have tried to analyze numerically that Nepal and enjoy the electricity export led growth. The projected ten years revenue growth is positive and supports the theory of comparative advantage. The cost analysis of producing electricity by using coal (69%) in India since it is the highly dependent factor for power generation for India and by water resources (63%) in Nepal has been shown. Nepal also has the advantage on cost of production because of run of river type which naturally discourages the construction cost of big dams’ reservoirs. Finally, on the basis of my study, it is illustrated that Nepal and India electricity trade relationship is going to grow stronger with the market demand growth. Nepal can rejoice the comparative advantage in producing hydroelectricity and sell it to the highly potential market of India and gain the economic growth for both the countries.
