Bhutan’s Energy Ambitions
Dasho Chhewang Rinzin, MD of DGPC, noted that Bhutan and India have cooperated in hydropower since the 1960s. He said hydropower development remains a cornerstone of bilateral relations.
Bhutan plans to become a High-Income GNH country and add 20,000 MW of renewable energy by 2040.
“DGPC is happy to partner with the Adani Group, whose technical expertise and financial strength will help fast-track the Wangchhu project and set a benchmark for future initiatives,” Rinzin added
The Wangchhu project is the first under the May 2025 MoU between Adani Group and DGPC. Both sides are already discussing additional projects under this strategic collaboration.
Adani Power, India’s largest private thermal producer, operates 18,110 MW across 12 plants in Gujarat and other states.
