India Revives 13 GW of Hydro Projects in Arunachal Pradesh

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas--India's endeavor toward revitalizing its renewable energy landscape is taking a momentous leap as the Government of India and the Government of Arunachal Pradesh join forces to revive and execute 13 hydropower projects in the state. Memorandums of Agreement have been inked, allocating these projects--having a cumulative installed capacity of approximately 13,000 megawatts (MW)--to hydro public sector undertakings (PSUs) under the Union Ministry of Power. PSUs refer to companies in which a government holds 51% or more of equity; this can be at the central, state or local level.

Initially designated to private sector developers nearly 15 years ago, these hydroelectric projects lay dormant due to various reasons. In a strategic move, the state government has now engaged central PSUs, which are companies partially or fully owned strictly by the central government.

The development of these hydro projects carries significant weight in India's pursuit of achieving its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) target--specifically, a 500-GW non-fossil energy capacity by 2030. Embracing hydropower also aligns with the objective of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.
