Tata Power Partners with DGPC for 600 MW Hydropower Project in Bhutan

Tata Power, in collaboration with Druk Green Power Corporation Ltd (DGPC) of Bhutan, has announced a strategic partnership for the development of the 600 MW Khorlochhu Hydropower Project. Supported by the Royal Government of Bhutan and the Government of India, the project is located in the Trashiyangtse Dzongkhag (District) in Eastern Bhutan on the Kholongchhu river.
Tata Power will invest 40% equity in the Public-Private Partnership Company, Khorlochhu Hydro Power Limited. The project, estimated to cost Rs. 6900 crore, is set to begin construction immediately with a five-year timeline. All necessary approvals have been obtained.
This partnership builds on the existing collaboration between Tata Power and DGPC in the 126 MW Dagachhu Hydropower Plant. The Khorlochhu Hydropower Project will help Bhutan meet its growing winter electricity needs and export power to India during the summer, aiding India's renewable energy transition.
This investment aligns with Tata Power's "Sustainable is Attainable" initiative, emphasizing its commitment to carbon neutrality and clean energy solutions.
Dr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & MD, Tata Power said, “This is a landmark alliance for Tata Power and Druk Green Power Corporation. The development of the 600 MW Khorlochhu Hydropower Project in Bhutan will provide energy security to the region. This project marks a significant step towards building a sustainable energy landscape underscoring Tata Power’s commitment to a greener future.”
