<h1>Government cancels private hydro-power deals worth Rs 1 lakh crore, reallocates 11,517 MW projects to public sector units</h1> Multiple hydro-power projects worth over Rs 1 lakh crore are underway in a northeastern state to generate 18,000 MW of power. The state government allocated projects totaling 11,517 MW to three central public sector units after cancelling agreements with private developers who failed to initiate work. The chief minister stated that private companies lacked capacity for such large investments, prompting government intervention. Key projects include a 2,000 MW facility starting next year and a 2,880 MW project expected by 2032. The state has assessed hydro-power potential of 67,000 MW across five major river basins, though this remains largely unrealized.
