The estimated potential for power generation in the country from such plants is about 20,000 MW. Most of the potential is in Himalayan States as river-based projects and in other States on irrigation canals. The SHP program is now essentially private investment driven. Projects are normally economically viable and private sector is showing lot of interest in investing in SHP projects. The viability of these projects improves with increase in the project capacity. The Ministry\u2019s aim is that at least 50% of the potential in the country is harnessed in the next 10 years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6b0b29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-oxence-advanced-heading\" data-id=\"c6b0b29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"oxence-advanced-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"oxence-advanced-heading\">\n                        <h3 class=\"main-heading\"><span class=\"main-text\">Hydro Power Project Classification <\/span><\/h3>        <\/div>\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f909966 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f909966\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Hydro power projects are generally categorized in two segments i.e. small and large hydro.
