Bhutan and India expanded their clean energy cooperation through a fresh hydropower agreement, adding 770 megawatts of generating capacity and reinforcing their strategic partnership amid global renewable energy transitions.

Bhutan and the World Bank signed a USD 515 million agreement for the 1,125 MW Dorjilung Hydroelectric Project, which will increase Bhutan's energy capacity by one-third, boost GDP by 2.4 percent, and displace 3.3 million tons of annual carbon dioxide while enabling clean energy exports to India.
