Reliance Infrastructure has bagged the 960-MW Jhangi-Thopan-Powari Hydel power project from the Himachal Pradesh (HP) Government. Meanwhile, the Himachal Pradesh Government also approved the allotment of 217 mini and micro hydel projects.
The project has been delayed several times as bidding deadlines were consistently extended since November 5, 2014. This was primarily due to the Himachal Pradesh Government seeking a high premium.
