Indian state-owned hydropower generator (Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam), now diversifying into solar, wind and thermal power.
Indian state-owned hydropower generator (Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam), now diversifying into solar, wind and thermal power.
Sells power to state distribution companies at tariffs set by the central electricity regulator, which allow a regulated return on invested equity, so earnings follow plant availability and new capacity commissioned rather than power prices. The older flagship Nathpa Jhakri plant carries most income, and new projects, including in Nepal, are under construction.
Moat: wide (regulatory licence, installed base, scale). Government-granted hydropower project rights on the Sutlej and other rivers are effectively non-replicable long-term assets.
