Abstract
India and Nepal are having very cordial relations, not only from now but for a long time back in History. The geographical location of Nepal has made it very much important for India. China has already made effective incursions into neighboring countries of India. China is also supplying large number of arms to Nepal. Although Nepal Politicians are aware of the dangers of receiving Chinese aid, China is making irrefutable promises, both financially and otherwise. India, which is economically and politically backward compared to China, cannot provide an alternative. When the border dispute broke out, many countries took a stand against China and informed India but unfortunately Nepal was not stand with India. Countries such as Germany, France, Britain and Australia, which are seeking to increase their influence in the Indo-Pacific region, have also extended a helping hand to India. Even so, the only two countries that can directly confront China economically and politically are the United States and Russia. India can make policy decisions on the Chinese issue only in the face of a number of issues, including the Chinese invasion of the Indian subcontinent, the growing Chinese influence in neighboring countries, the Sino-Russian alliance, and the antagonism of China and Russia.

There are multiple factors behind good relationships between countries of any region in the world
To find the answer to the question of whether both the countries can enhance their trade-in hydropower and how far it would be the right decision for both the countries in order to maintain their growth, it can be concluded that various parameters are indicating that both the countries are in need of power and both of them can fulfill their need by working with each other
Just like Bhutan, even Nepal can use its vast hydropower potential and make its an economy more strong [10]. To reach such a strong, stable relationship, political will, and grass route level cooperation is required between both countries. It is a mutual benefit for both the countries where Nepal can fulfill its domestic need by involving herself in hydropower exploration and for India, this could be a better investment where economic benefit can be gain, electricity can be supplied to states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh which are suffering from electricity shortage and duty of reducing greenhouse gases can be completed
Summary
There are multiple factors behind good relationships between countries of any region in the world. Increasing demand, high cost, and impact on climate due to increase carbon emission is forcing all countries to go for renewable or alternative sources of energy rather than conventional resources It can bring more trust and prosperity in the region if countries can give more preference to their neighbor for such energy trading rather than importing it from outside countries at a higher cost. Eby Johny: Nepal and India Hydropower Cooperation: A Beneficial Peaceful Diplomacy area as well as population This increasing population is directly proportional to the growing energy demand which is leading to enhancing energy import of the country. Growing imported fossil fuels is another fact of concern that causes economic deficit as well as environmental depletion [4] While such conventional energy resources are very vulnerable in terms of prices and at the same time, it gives extra concern due to its environmental degradation nature. Though India is having huge renewable energy potential still it is suffering from high demand and less supply problem in terms of electricity and several other resources are being used to fulfill the demand but still, India needs to have better trading with its neighbor, especially in terms of renewable energy trading because it will fulfill its power demand but it will reduce its environmental protection burden [5]
