<h1>Himachal Govt Warns NHPC: Follow New Royalty Terms or Face Hydropower Project Reclaim; Land, Job Issues Also Addressed</h1> The Himachal Pradesh government plans to reclaim hydropower projects if the National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC) does not comply with its conditions, according to Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. The government criticizes past agreements granting indefinite 12 percent royalties, demanding adherence to a policy of 12, 18, and 30 percent royalties with project returns after 40 years. The government is also addressing land issues with NHPC and BBMB, emphasizing job priority for displaced families and reviewing existing MOUs. The 40-year lease of the Baira Siul project, extended by the previous government, is under scrutiny.
