The fate of the bilateral project hangs in the balance as the two sides are yet to agree on issues of water and cost-sharing.
Nepal wants India to bear the cost of water it does not use. The neighbour has rejected the proposal, officials say.
Though the two sides agreed in early June to conclude the detailed project report (DPR) of the multipurpose project within three months, breakthrough continues to elude them.
Nepal and India have recently witnessed a shift in their bilateral relationship, with India demonstrating a notable commitment to fulfilling promises and driving the implementation of key agreements.
Experts from the two countries are scheduled to meet on September 29-30. The mega project has been under discussion for over over three decades now.
