India approves Rs 2,585 crore small hydro power development scheme
Change
India approved a Rs 2,585 crore small hydro power development scheme to add 1,500 MW of run-of-river renewable capacity by 2030–31 and required projects to avoid dams and displacement.
Why it matters
The scheme concentrates central funding into small-scale hydro projects within a fixed five-year implementation window, increasing urgency for permitting and construction. Developers and financiers will need to align project timelines and designs with the scheme's eligibility criteria to secure central support.
