This presentation summarizes India's hydropower sector, including the status of development, private sector participation, policies and regulations, barriers to development, and an action plan to accelerate hydropower. India has significant untapped hydropower potential but has only harnessed 30% so far. Private sector participation remains low at 7% of capacity due to barriers like land acquisition issues, lack of market incentives, and financing challenges. The government recently proposed a plan to the EFC to revive the sector by addressing issues in project development, strengthening policies and markets, and improving financing.
