A virtual meeting was held on 30 October on discussing the implementation of related modalities of the India-Sri Lanka power grid interconnection, the Indian High Commission said in a release.
The Indian delegation was led by Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power, Government of India, and the Sri Lankan delegation was led by Prof. K.T.M. Udayanga Hemapala, Secretary, Ministry of Energy, Government of Sri Lanka.
Both sides discussed aspects pertaining to the implementation of related modalities of the power grid project. It may be recalled that on 16 June, 2025, both sides had confirmed the technical parameters of the India-Sri Lanka power grid interconnection, during a meeting in Delhi.
The transmission line will enable Sri Lanka to import electricity during shortages and export renewable energy, earning foreign exchange. It will also open up new opportunities for diversifying exports and energy sources, improving grid stability and integrating into the regional power market. Both sides will engage in further discussions for the implementation of this project.
