India's hydropower generation significantly dropped in June due to a delayed monsoon. Shrinking reservoir levels limited water availability for electricity production. Coal, nuclear, and renewable energy plants increased output to meet demand.

India’s hydropower generation fell by 6.3 GW in June 2026, prompting a 20.7 GW rise in coal-fired output. This shift increases emissions and challenges Asia’s energy transition amid drought and El Niño risks.

Despite facing hotter temperatures and drastically drier winters, new research shows that high-altitude run-of-the-river power plants in the Himalayas will continue to meet energy targets through the end of the century.

India says the Indus Waters Treaty cannot continue in its current form and plans 5,500 MW of new hydropower projects in Jammu and Kashmir.

Generation from hydroelectric plants fell almost 21% from a year earlier, the steepest drop since February 2024, data from India’s power ministry showed.

State-run THDC India Ltd (THDCIL) has signed a power purchase agreement with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd. (GUVNL) to supply 184.08 MW from India’s first variable-speed pumped storage project (PSP) at Tehri, Uttarakhand. The project is designed to ...

India's hydropower generation fell more than 20% in June as weak monsoon rainfall reduced reservoir levels, forcing higher coal-based power generation.

India’s power system stands to be strained more by the developing El Niño than that of any other country, according to an analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). They project that weaker wind and hydropower output,

NEW DELHI, Dec 31 (Reuters) - Two monorail trains collided at a hydropower plant being built in India's northern state of Uttarakhand late on Tuesday and at least 109 workers were injured, a district official told Reuters. Most of the workers sustained ...
