Adani Power, a prominent Indian energy company, has entered into a new agreement with Bhutan’s state-owned Druk Green Power Corporation to construct a 770 MW hydropower facility. This project represents a significant expansion of the energy infrastructure cooperation between India and Bhutan, focusing on the development of renewable energy resources in the Himalayan nation.

This initiative is the second major partnership between the two companies in recent months. In September 2025, the firms signed an agreement for the development of the 570 MW Wangchhu Hydroelectric Project. Together, these projects signal a strengthening of cross-border energy ties, with Bhutan positioning itself as a key supplier of hydroelectric power to the Indian market. While the specific financial details and construction timelines for the 770 MW project have not been fully disclosed, the collaboration is part of a broader regional strategy to increase green energy capacity.

Hydropower remains a cornerstone of Bhutan’s economy and its diplomatic relationship with India. By leveraging private sector expertise from India alongside state-led initiatives in Bhutan, both parties aim to accelerate the transition toward sustainable energy sources. The move is expected to bolster regional energy security, though environmental and local community impacts of such large-scale infrastructure projects remain a subject of ongoing discussion among regional stakeholders.
