Energy Minister to Study Hydropower Projects with No Progress

Kathmandu. Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation Minister Biraj Bhakta Shrestha has stated that a study will be conducted on hydropower projects that have not made progress for a long time despite obtaining permits, and necessary decisions will be made based on their classification.

Speaking at a program organized here today to welcome the newly elected executive committee of the Independent Power Producers' Association Nepal (IPPAN), Minister Shrestha said that the government will fully support genuine investors, while making it clear that the tendency of not advancing projects after obtaining permits must be discouraged.
