Work on Bhutan’s 1,200 MW Punatsangchhu-I hydropower project has resumed after a seven-year suspension, with India’s Power Minister Manohar Lal attending a key concrete pouring ceremony marking the restart of dam construction.
The revival of the India-funded project, stalled since 2019 due to geological challenges, is seen as a major milestone in bilateral energy cooperation and is expected to pave the way for completion within five years.
