Hydropower sector cooperation is the flagship area of Indo-Bhutan bilateral relations. Choose the correct statement(s) among the following with regard to India's investment in the hydropower sector in Bhutan :
1. The Mangdechhu hydroelectric project is a run-of-river power plant being built with Indian assistance in central Bhutan.
2. The Kholongchu project is a first Indo-Bhutan joint venture hydroelectric project to be implemented by Kholongchu Hydro Energy Limited.
3. The Chukha HEP, Kurichhu HEP and Tala HEP are the hydroelectric projects of Bilateral Cooperation between India and Bhutan.
Answer: D
All three statements are correct, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
The 720 MW Mangdechhu project in Trongsa district of central Bhutan is a run-of-river plant built with Indian assistance (1). The 600 MW Kholongchu project is the first India-Bhutan joint venture hydropower project, executed by Kholongchu Hydro Energy Limited, a joint venture of India's SJVN and Bhutan's Druk Green Power Corporation (2).
The Chukha, Kurichhu and Tala projects are the earlier hydropower projects built under India-Bhutan bilateral cooperation and already in operation (3). Since all three hold, every narrower option is incomplete.
