Tata Power has urged the Central Government to formulate a policy that allows a private company like it to undertake large capacity hydro electric projects in Bhutan and sell power generated in that country to India.

Tata Power has recently had discussions with Bhutan Government officials for development of larger projects. While the response from the Bhutanese Government has been quite positive, the company has been advised to take up the matter with the Indian Government so that Tata Power could be permitted to undertake co-development in Bhutan, in addition to the public sector undertakings of the Indian Government.
