Moreover, nearly 100 GW of total hydro electricity potential in India’s rivers lying untapped because of high tariffs. As a result, in 2019 the government approved a slew of measures including providing renewable energy status for large hydel projects and new funding provisions to boost hydro power generation in India. However, amidst the Covid-19 outbreak, the sector shall see reduction in pace of fresh additions in both large and small hydro. However, amidst force majeure circumstances witnessed, the hydro sector likely to see reduction in fresh investment and with uncertainty in future the situation for capacities look grim.
