Who coordinates for trans-national exchange of power?
NLDC
ERLDC
NERLDC
NRLDC
NLDC
Quick Summary: The National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC) is the apex body responsible for the optimum scheduling and dispatch of electricity on an all-India basis. It acts as the nodal agency for coordinating trans-national power exchanges, including inter-country interconnections with neighbors like Nepal, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.

Ptrans=XV1V2sin(δ) — Represents the real power flow across international interconnections based on voltage magnitude and phase angle difference.
NLDC functions under the Power System Operation Corporation (POSOCO/GRID-INDIA) and oversees the regional load despatch centres (RLDCs). It manages the grid security, real-time grid monitoring, and the commercial coordination of cross-border power flows by interfacing with the transmission licensees and regulatory authorities of respective countries.
NLDC is established under the Electricity Act, 2003.
It maintains the All-India Synchronous Grid stability.
Coordinates cross-border power flow with the Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Power.
It serves as the central nodal agency for inter-regional scheduling.
Optimized resource utilization across borders.
Enhanced regional energy security and grid reliability.
Complex regulatory coordination between nations.
Increased risk of grid disturbances spreading across national boundaries.
Exporting surplus hydro power from Bhutan to India.
Coordinated power balancing between India and Nepal/Bangladesh.
Option B (ERLDC), C (NERLDC), and D (NRLDC) are Regional Load Despatch Centres (RLDCs) that handle regional power flow and scheduling within India but do not coordinate the national-level trans-national agreements independently of NLDC.
A is correct — NLDC is the central nodal agency responsible for the coordination of trans-national power exchanges.
Always remember that while RLDCs handle regional grids, the NLDC acts as the unified 'brain' for national and international grid integration and policy enforcement.
