    At the end of the third quarter of FY 2079/2080, the closing price of LEC’s shares stood at Rs. 270.

As per the implementation of Nepal Financial Reporting Standards (NFRS), all overhead costs not directly attributable to the project or its construction have been transferred to the profit or loss account, resulting in a negative EPS. The commercial operation of the project began in Mangsir, 2079.

    LEC has also completed the feasibility study and Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) for other projects, namely the Badigad Khola Hydropower Project (24.6 MW) in Baglung and the Lodo Hydropower Project (1.6 MW) in Lamjung.
