The Union Minister of State for Power, Shri K.C.Venugopal,
informed Lok Sabha today in a written reply that presently, four Hydro
Electric Projects (HEPs) (above installed capacity of 25 MW) are being
constructed in the country with the assistance of Asian Development Bank
(ADB). All these HEPs are located in Himachal Pradesh. In this
regard, Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (HPPCL), a State
Government undertaking had informed that a group of people with
unverified credentials had written to ADB to stop funding based on
unsubstantiated allegations. HPPCL had stated that preliminary
verification of these allegations revealed that the report was not based
on facts and appeared to be motivated and biased.
