Tata Power has secured the mandate to develop the 1,125 MW Dorjilung Hydropower Project in Bhutan, marking a major milestone in India-Bhutan energy cooperation. The project is poised to strengthen regional power security, expand clean energy capacity, and deepen cross-border infrastructure partnerships. As India pushes to enhance renewable energy generation and Bhutan continues leveraging hydropower as a driver of economic growth, the Dorjilung initiative represents a strategic win for both nations.

India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman embarked on a two-day official visit to Bhutan, reaffirming New Delhi’s enduring commitment to its Himalayan neighbor through enhanced economic cooperation and strategic collaboration. The visit focused on bilateral development partnerships, energy cooperation, and financial connectivity, underscoring India’s pivotal role in Bhutan’s economic modernization.

Adani Power has announced plans to construct a large-scale hydropower project in Bhutan, marking a significant step in India’s efforts to deepen energy cooperation with its Himalayan neighbor. The venture is expected to add substantial clean energy capacity to Bhutan’s power sector while reinforcing cross-border electricity trade with India. Analysts believe this development underscores both Adani’s long-term renewable energy strategy and New Delhi’s broader push to strengthen regional energy security.
