Hydro Power Project

India marks a significant stride in renewable energy with the inauguration of its first multi-purpose green hydrogen pilot project at the Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station (NJHPS) in Himachal Pradesh.

According to officials, "CBI conducts raids at around eight locations, seven in Delhi and one in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir."

The CBI is conducting searches at six locations in four cities in connection with the alleged graft flagged by former Jammu and Kashmir governor Satya Pal Malik in awarding the contract for the Rs 2,200-crore civil work for the Kiru Hydro Power

In a daring mission conducted in North Sikkim, troops of the Indian Army's Trishakti Corps rescued 245 people stranded in the village of Rabom due to flashfloods in Sikkim, officials said on Sunday.

Thermal power plants will generate 75.66 per cent of the country's electricity requirement of 1,750 billion units in the current fiscal, the government said today.

Landslides in the Indian Himalayas around hydro power projects were caused mainly by topography, geological conditions and rainfall, the power ministry said on Wednesday, citing a study that ruled out construction as a factor.

The Comptroller and Auditor General said out of 374 identified project sites with power generation capacity of 1,725.53 MegaWatts, only 10 projects with 79.75 MW capacity had been commissioned with time overrun ranging between 4 months and 7 years.

The proceeds would be used for 'green' projects such as solar power, wind and small hydro projects and other public sector projects that help reduce the economy's carbon footprint.

Land subsidence in Joshimath is primarily due to the National Thermal Power Corporation's Tapovan Vishnugad Hydro Power Project and is a very grave reminder that people are messing up with the environment to an extent that is irreversible.

Three more bodies were recovered from the NTPC's flood-ravaged Tapovan-Vishnugad hydel project site on Saturday, taking the death count in the February 7 glacial disaster in Uttarakhand to 65, officials said.

A video that has emerged from the Uttarakhand avalanche tragedy has captured the moment when the Tapovan Hydro Electric Power project was completely washed off. At least 30 people have died and 170 are missing after a glacier burst on Sunday that left many workers trapped in tunnels.

A 13.2 megawatt small hydro project on the Rishiganga river was swept away in the glacier burst in Uttarakhand today, but there is no danger of floods in the downstream areas as the water level has been contained, the National Crisis Management Committee (NCMC), headed by Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba, was told at an emergency meeting.

14 people were killed and 170 are still missing, after a glacier break at Joshimath in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district triggered massive flooding of the Alaknanda and Dhauliganga rivers on Sunday. Many villages were evacuated as floods swept away five bridges, damaged homes and the nearby NTPC power plant, and washed away a small hydro power project...

Nepal has revived a deal with a Chinese state-owned firm to construct a $2.5 billion hydroelectric plant, that had been scrapped by the previous government, officials said.

Four people, including two Indians, who had gone missing after a huge mass of earth caved in at a tunnel site of the Arun III hydro power project in eastern Nepal, have been rescued after nearly 40 hours.
