“There is a strategic need now to develop projects with storage capacity and tap the potential in Jammu and Kashmir and also across the country. The Dulhasti Stage II and Uri 1 Stage-II hydro projects may take up to 4 years for completion after the work has been awarded,” said Abhay Kumar Singh, president, Indian Hydropower Association and former chairman and managing director of NHPC.
