India's hydroelectric power potential is estimated at 148,700 MW at 60% load factor. [4] In the fiscal year 2019–20, the total hydroelectric power generated in India was 156 TWh (excluding small hydro) with an average capacity factor of 38.71%. The hydroelectric power plants at Darjeeling and Shivanasamudra were established in 1898 and 1902 ...
India's first hydroelectric power station with 2 × 65 kW capacity was commissioned on 10 November 1897 by Sir C. C. Stevens, the Acting Lieutenant Governor of Bengal. It is a noteworthy fact that the first power utility run on a commercial basis for the use of the general public in India was developed by the public sector under state patronage ...

Today the Koyna Hydroelectric Project is the second largest completed hydroelectric power plant in India [2] having a total installed capacity of 1,960 MW. Due to its electricity generating potential, Koyna river is considered as the 'life line of Maharashtra'. [3] The spillway of the dam is located at the center. It has 6 radial gates.
India had set a target of 175 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy (excluding large hydro) capacity by 2022. [47] It included 100 GW capacity from solar energy sources, 60 GW from wind power, 10 GW from biopower, and 5 GW from small hydropower. [48] As of 31 March 2024, India has 190.573 GW (43% of total) installed capacity of renewable energy ...
The weir portion got breached in November 2015 unable to withstand the normal water release from the hydropower stations. [6] Tail pond weir was completed during the year 2017 and pumping mode operation is being done even when the downstream Nagarjuna Sagar reservoir water level is below 531.5 feet (162 m) MSL. The tail pond has nearly 1 tmcft ...
The Nimoo Bazgo power plant was stated to utilise a rated net head of 34 m (112 ft) to generate 239.30 gigawatt-hours (861.5 terajoules) [clarification needed] in a 90% dependable year. The project has three surface power units of 15 MW (20,000 hp) each with a total installed capacity of 45 megawatts (60,000 hp). [2]
