India is planning to expand its power trade by exporting electricity to Southeast Asia, leveraging its excess generation capacity, according to Reuters. The government is in talks with Myanmar and Thailand about importing India's surplus power, potentially through undersea cables or overland through Bangladesh. The plan would enhance India's influence in the region and help offset the costs of its energy transition. India's power secretary, Alok Kumar, has confirmed these discussions but indicated that a detailed strategy is yet to be finalized. This initiative follows a similar successful arrangement with Bangladesh.
