Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked a milestone in India-Bhutan relations by inaugurating the 1,020 MW Punatsangchhu-II Hydroelectric Project on November 11, 2025. The project, situated on Bhutan’s Punatsangchhu River, represents a significant step towards regional clean energy development and bilateral cooperation.

The hydropower project will enhance Bhutan’s power generation capacity and strengthen power exports to India under existing energy agreements.

The visit coincided with Bhutan’s celebration of the 70th birthday of its fourth king and the Global Peace Prayer Festival, where PM Modi also announced an additional concessional line of credit of ₹4,000 crore to support Bhutan’s future hydropower and infrastructure projects.
