J&K’s hydropower sector, a crucial source of electricity for the region, is facing significant challenges with Chenab Valley Power Projects Private Limited (CVPPPL), a prominent player in the sector, disclosing that it has not commissioned any new project in recent times. This revelation has raised concerns about the region’s power generation capacity.
The CVPPPL, a joint venture of the NHPC (51%) and the JKSPDC (49%), was established in 2011 with the support of the J&K government and the Centre to harness the state’s vast hydropower potential.
