HYDROPOWER PLANT IN

INDIA India is the 7th largest producer of

hydroelectric power.

The present installed capacity as

on 31 March 2016 is 42,783 MW

which is 14.35% of total utility

electricity generation capacity in

India.

In addition 4,274 MW small hydro

power units are installed as on 31

March 2016.

During the year 2014-15, the total

hydro electricity generation in India

was 129 billion Kwh which works

out to 24,500 MW at 60% capacity

factor.

FUTURE POTENTIAL

56 sites for pumped storage schemes with an aggregate installed

capacity of 94,000 MW have been identified.

Private sector owns nearly 7.5% out of the total 42,783 MW but this

sector is going to grow faster with the participation in developing the

hydro potential located in the Himalaya mountain ranges including

north east of India
