However,  for  setting  up  of  Hydroelectric Power Projects, the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) are required to be submitted   for concurrence of   Central   Electricity  Authority  (CEA). Presently, 50 proposals for setting  up  of  Hydro  Electric  projects  have  been  received  from  various  States  in Central Electricity Authority (CEA) for concurrence/appraisal, the details of which are given at Annex-I.

15 Hydro Electric projects have been concurred by CEA.  The details of these projects along with their present status are given at Annex-II.
