Nepal's Power Pricing Under Scrutiny: Are Electricity Costs Hurting Competitiveness?

An uncompetitive power price could significantly impede the nation's industrial growth and export capabilities, making Nepalese goods pricier in global markets. For the everyday investor, this debate directly impacts the future profitability of energy companies listed on NEPSE, potentially affecting their stock performance.
