Pakistan should get electricity from anyone who can supply(well until at least we are able to build infrastructure of our own).
Electricity is not Indian,Pakistani,Chinese,Hindu or Muslim its just electricity.lol
India has about 57% access to electricity, whereas Pakistan has 55%.
If we build a power line along the Karakorum Highway, maybe Pakistan can import electricity from Xinjiang or Tibet.
The topography is way to rugged to be cost effective.Its easier in flat lands rather than through mountains and ridges
Not if it is the mountains and ridges region is short of electricity.
I dont know where are you getting your data from..

Overall electrification in India is 64.5% while in Pakistan it is 57.6%. 93.1% of Indian urban areas have electricity,while in case of Pakistan it is 78%.
Now,the big difference is,while we rarely have power shortage for our installed limits,Pakistan has massive shortage,resulting in power cuts as long as 16-18 hours a day.
This is 2008 data and India government already had invested $160 Billion in last 5 years on power sector projects. The gap will be much wider in 4 years.Infrastructure India, Indian Infrastructure , India, Infrastructure Sectors , India Infrastructure, Aviation, construction, Education , Entertainment, Finance, Health care , Highways ,Roads , Hospitality, Hydrocarbons, IT, Logistics, Ports, Power, Ra
Please provide the latest data of electricity coverage.

India does have load shedding but not to that amount that happens in Pakistan. States like Gujarat have surplus electricity which can be exported to Sindh and Punjab rather than exporting it towards the eastern coast of AP, Orissa ( transmission losses).
The need to supply to the deficient state should be of higher priority that exporting.
If Orissa and other needy states get their requirement from bangladesh or else where, then only we should think about exporting.
