In a recent statement, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has proposed that Pakistan should consider selling its surplus electricity to neighboring India as a means to strengthen economic ties and reduce the energy sector’s financial burden.

Sharif, leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), argued that Pakistan’s power generation capabilities have improved significantly in recent years, creating a surplus in electricity production. He emphasized that this excess power, if sold to India, could generate valuable revenue for Pakistan while improving regional relations.

“At a time when our energy sector is facing financial strain and we are producing more electricity than we need, we should explore selling it to India,” Sharif said, adding that it could be a step towards better economic integration between the two countries.

The suggestion has sparked mixed reactions. Supporters believe it could help Pakistan’s struggling power sector by creating an additional revenue stream, while critics argue that such a move could face political opposition given the tense relationship between the two nations.

The proposal comes as Pakistan continues to grapple with its ongoing economic challenges, including rising inflation and an external debt burden. Selling surplus electricity could offer a short-term economic reprieve and might open the door to broader cooperation in the region. However, any such agreement would require careful negotiation and mutual trust between Islamabad and New Delhi.
