Bhutan refuses India

The Bhutan Government has turned down proposals of Indian private power companies wanting to set up projects there. The government has refused to hand over projects to India until the first 10,000 MW projects with government-nominated agencies are completed. Companies such as Tata Power were planning to expand in Bhutan. Currently, the Tata Group firm has a JV with Druk Power, an entity of the Royal Government of Bhutan, under which it is implementing the 126 MW Dagachhu Hydro Project. Contact: Tata Power.
