As of 30 April 2017, India's installed utility-scale hydroelectric capacity was 44,594 MW, or 13.5% of its total utility power generation capacity.[1] Additional smaller hydroelectric power units with a total capacity of 4,380 MW (1.3% of its total utility power generation capacity) have been installed.[2][3] India's hydroelectric power potential is estimated at 148,700 MW at 60% load factor.[4] In the fiscal year 2016-17, the total hydroelectric power generated in India was 122.31 TWh (excluding small hydro) with an average capacity factorof 33%.
The hydro-electric power plants at Darjeelingand Shivanasamudram were established in 1898 and 1902, respectively. They were among the first in Asia and India has been a dominant player in global hydroelectric power development.[5] India also imports surplus hydroelectric power from Bhutan.
