1 Research Compendium Hydro power in North East India Release Date : August 2013

2 Research Background Total Hydro Power potential in India Untapped potential, 67.60% Source: Energyline India Tapped, % Underconstruction, 8.51% 1. According to the last re-assessment studies conducted by Central Electricity Authority, India have hydropower potential of MW. Out of this only 23.88% has been tapped, another 8.51% is underconstruction and the remaining 67.60% remains untouched. 2. With abundance of inherent hydropower potential holding relatively greener energy security promises for India, investing in development of hydropower will be a lucrative business venture as hydropower plants has relatively low operational cost. NE India: Hydro Power holds the key 1. In view of this rising demand for power for rising India and the worsening coal shortage issue, it is only sensible to develop and exploit the vast hydropower resource available in India in general and Northeast India in particular. 2. With Northeast India alone bearing MW power potential (excluding Sikkim) out of which only 2.13% is utilized and another 4.82% under development, a massive MW of hydro power, translating to 93.06% of the total potential, is waiting to be tapped. Hydropower potential in NE India 93% 2% 5% Source: Energyline India Tapped potential Underconstruction Untapped potential Northeastern region of India is one of most energy deprived region in India, and tapping the huge resource will go a long way towards bringing economic development in the region. 2

Long gestation period, lack of political will, resistance from locals, and inter-state water sharing disputes are some of the issues that slow down exploitation of hydro power in the country. 2. With the Government of India s renewed vigor on developing renewable energy sources to meet energy demand, the business environment for investing in hydropower is set to become much more favorable, especially in the North Eastern region. Energyline India Initiative Keeping in mind the huge hydropower potential in North East which is yet to be exploited fully, IndianPetroGroup is coming up with a data driven, comprehensive business report titled Hydropower in North East India: Under Construction and Planned Projects for potential investors, developers and other stakeholders. The report will feature detailed information of all underconstruction and planned hydropower projects in the Northeast India, covering the states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Manipur, Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland. The report will analyze the resource potential of the states through different parameters and come up with a ranking matrix for all NE states. The report will help identify business opportunity for investors and developers and provide insights on the business environment of each of the states of the region specifically. 3
