Policy soon to revive small hydro power projects.

The Power Ministry is planning to formulate a new policy which will revive small hydro power projects in the country, said Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal at a conference organised by FICCI.

Goyal said a large number of small hydro projects have been delayed due to various regulatory approvals and other issues. The policy will aim to remove all the bottlenecks in the implementation of the projects. Efforts are also on for reviving large hydro projects such as the Teesta project in Sikkim, Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh and Subhanshree in Arunachal Pradesh.
