Adani Group Partners with Bhutan for 570 MW Green Hydro Plant and Infrastructure Projects

Adani Group signs an MoU with Bhutan for a 570 MW green hydro plant and collaborative infrastructure initiatives, marking a significant step in sustainable development.

In a recent visit to Thimphu, Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, met with Bhutan's King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Prime Minister Dasho Tshering Tobgay. During this meeting, Adani signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Druk Green Power Corporation Limited (DGPC) to develop a 570 MW green hydro plant in Chukha province. This project aligns with Bhutan's ongoing efforts to harness its hydroelectric potential and promote sustainable energy.

Adani shared his enthusiasm on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, highlighting the productive discussions with Prime Minister Tobgay. He expressed admiration for Bhutan's vision, led by His Majesty the King, and the country's ambitious infrastructure plans. 

The Adani Group aims to collaborate closely on both the hydro project and other transformative infrastructure initiatives. Among these projects is the Gelephu Mindfulness City, an eco-friendly master plan that includes large computing centers and data facilities. This initiative reflects Bhutan's commitment to maintaining its status as a carbon-negative nation while advancing technological and infrastructure development.

This isn't the first engagement between Gautam Adani and the Bhutanese leadership. In November last year, Adani met the King and expressed interest in contributing to Bhutan's green infrastructure goals. The Adani Group's involvement in Bhutan's projects signifies a strengthening partnership focused on sustainable development and mutual growth.
