THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR POWER, COAL, NEW & RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MINES

( SHRI  PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a) : As per reassessment study conducted by Central Electricity Authority,  India  has  a  total  hydro  potential  of  1,45,320  MW  (above  25  MW). Projects with  38062 MW are in operation while HE Schemes with an aggregate capacity of 12357 MW are under construction. However, a total hydro potential of about 94900 MW still remains to be tapped in the country, which is about 65% of the total hydro power potential.  State-wise details of the estimated hydro power potential yet to be tapped in the country is given at Annex.

Note:-  1.  Does not include pumped storage schemes

2.  In some states the total of the capacity developed and balance capacity is different from the potential assessed . This is due to change in capacity of the schemes, addition/ deletion of the schemes and merger of two schemes into one etc. *Eastern Yamuna Canal project (35 MW) has been developed in 2 stages each having Installed Capacity below 25 MW #Western Yamuna Canal project (64 MW) has been developed in 4 stages each having Installed Capacity below 25 MW ## Two schemes namely Mahi Bajaj Sagar I & II were identified for I.C. of 97 MW has been developed with I.C of 140 MW. Gandhi Sagar (115 MW) scheme was identified in Rajasthan but has been developed in Madhya Pradesh with same capacity. ###Two schemes namely Ukai Dam and Sardar Sarovar were identified for an I.C. of 590 MW. However as per actual, the I.C. is 550 MW. 3. In addition to above 9 PSS ( 4785.6 MW) are under operation, 2 PSS (1080 MW) are under construction, DPR of 1 PSS (500

####Identified project namely East Gandak Canal has been developed with installed capacity below 25 MW MW) returned to project developer and 1 PSS (1000 MW) is under Examination in CEA
