The Adani Group has officially begun the 570 MW Wangchhu Hydro Electricity Project in Bhutan, marking a significant step in its collaboration with Druk Green Power Corporation (DGPC).

The foundation stone for the project was laid in the presence of Bhutan’s Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay and Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani. Under the project agreement, DGPC will hold a 51 percent stake, while Adani Group will own 49 percent. This marks the first of several hydropower initiatives between the two companies, following their MoUs signed in May 2025 to develop 5,000 MW of hydropower projects in Bhutan. The Wangchhu project is estimated to cost Rs 60 billion and aims to be completed within five years.

This joint venture highlights Adani’s commitment to renewable energy and cross-border cooperation in the region.
