\nIndia has identified ten new hydropower projects for development to achieve the target of importing 10,000 MW of hydropower from Bhutan by 2020.
\n<\/section>\n
\nIndia has a long-standing and extensive cooperation with Bhutan in the hydropower sector. India provides financial and technical assistance for building major hydropower projects in Bhutan, and in return, India has the right to buy the surplus power generated from these projects. This cooperation is a significant source of revenue for Bhutan and helps India meet its energy demands. The target of importing 10,000 MW by 2020 is part of this bilateral framework.
\n<\/section>\n
\nSeveral large hydropower projects have been built or are under construction in Bhutan with Indian assistance, such as Chukha, Tala, Kurichhu, Punatsangchhu I & II, and Mangdechhu. These projects are primarily geared towards power export to India. While India also cooperates with Nepal on hydropower, the scale and specific target mentioned align more closely with the established framework and ongoing projects with Bhutan around the 2011 timeframe.
