Reliance Power and DHI will jointly develop Bhutan’s largest solar power project through a 50:50 joint venture, with an installed capacity of 500 megawatts (MW). The project involves a capital outlay of up to Rs 20,000 million under a Build-Own-Operate model, representing the largest foreign direct investment in Bhutan’s solar energy sector.
