4. Assessment
 The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) undertook reassessment of
the hydropower resources of the country in 1980s.
 In this survey, theoretical and the economic hydro potential of the
rivers was worked out. The potential was assessed by identifying
specific suitable sites and water availability corresponding to a 90%
dependable year.
 CEA had identified 845 economically feasible schemes in various river
basin of the country. The firm energy was converted into hydroelectric
potential by applying a suitable system load factor.

5. Hydroelectric power in India
 7th largest producer in the world.
 As of 30 April 2017, India's installed capacity - 44,594 MW ( 13.5% of
total capacity).
 Additional installed Smaller Hydroelectric Power Units with a total
capacity of 4,380 MW (1.3% of total capacity).
 India's Hydroelectric Power Potential - 148,700 MW ( 60% load
factor).
 Additional estimated Smaller Hydro schemes (< 25 MW) - 6,780 MW.
 56 sites for Pumped Storage schemes - 94,000 MW.
 Public sector - 92.5% .
 National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC)
 Northeast Electric Power Company (NEEPCO)
 Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVNL),
 THDC
 NTPC-Hydro

6.  Private sector expected to grow in the Himalayan mountain ranges,
northeast region.
 Indian companies have constructed hydro projects:
 Bhutan, Nepal, Afghanistan, and other countries.
 Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB), a state-owned enterprise
in north India,
 Installed Capacity - 2.9 GW.
 Generation Cost after four decades of operation -27 paise per
kWh.
 Major source to the northern grid in India.
 Large reservoirs provide wide operational flexibility.
 Supply water for the irrigation of 12.5 million acres (51,000 km2) of
agricultural land in partner states, enabling the green revolution in
the northern India.

17. MNRE Incentives

18. Importance / Benefits of these
Incentives
 The overall project cost reduces.
 Due to back hand capital subsidy, the financial burden on the
projects reduces.
 In case of Social Development Fund(SDF) supported projects, the
requirement of promoter contribution reduces from normally 30% to
10% of total project cost.
 Higher returns to project promoters as compared to other type of
industries.
