Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu Thursday urged Centre to increase Himachal Pradesh’s share in the power projects in state from 12 to 15 per cent
Sukhu, who met Union Power Minister RK Singh in national capital, sought extra share of power from projects that were commissioned 25 years back and have already completed their loan repayments.
The CM also apprised the Union Minister that around 12,000 MW hydro power potential in the state was yet to be harnessed.
“Hydro power development is the key engine to the economic growth of Himachal Pradesh, as it makes a direct and significant contribution to economy in terms of revenue generation, employment opportunities and enhancing the quality of life.
