India and NHPC invest 660 million USD for 1,000 MW in Bihar

NHPC and the Indian government commit 660 million USD to solar and green hydrogen projects in Bihar. This initiative will develop 1,000 MW of capacity while creating 800 jobs.

Please share:

NHPC Limited, a leader in the Indian energy sector, has signed an agreement with the government of Bihar to invest 660 million USD (5,500 crores INR) in solar and green hydrogen projects. This strategic initiative aims to develop a total capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) in this energy-rich state.

A commitment to energy transition

Leveraging innovative infrastructure, the project will significantly contribute to India’s energy transition. NHPC announced that this initiative will create approximately 800 local jobs, boosting Bihar’s economy and addressing the growing demand for sustainable energy.

Currently, NHPC manages a total installed capacity of 7,232.90 MW, primarily from 22 hydroelectric plants, with recent diversification into renewable energy. The company already operates 211.70 MW of solar capacity and 50 MW of wind energy, reflecting its ambition to expand its green energy portfolio.

A strategic role for Bihar

The state of Bihar, with its high solar potential, positions itself as a key player in India’s carbon neutrality goals. By supporting the integration of green projects, the government enhances its cooperation with private partners like NHPC while promoting the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and energy security.

This major investment underscores the joint efforts of India and its industrial partners to meet climate goals while stimulating regional development.
