Patel Engineering Limited has secured a ₹230 crore hydroelectric power project in Bhutan, further strengthening its presence in the regional renewable energy sector.
The contract has been awarded by Dorjilung Hydro Power Limited (DHPL), a joint venture between Bhutan’s Druk Green Power Corporation and India’s Tata Power Company. The Letter of Award (LoA) covers Package I – pre-construction works for the 1,125 MW Dorjilung Hydroelectric Power Project.
The scope of work includes key civil and hydromechanical components, such as the construction of diversion tunnels, an intermediate adit, and a road tunnel, along with associated infrastructure required for the project’s execution.
The Dorjilung project is considered Bhutan’s largest hydropower project under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, aimed at meeting domestic energy demand while enabling the export of surplus clean power to India, thereby strengthening regional energy security.
The project is scheduled to be executed within a construction timeline of around 300 days, followed by a defects liability period, reflecting a time-bound implementation strategy.
This win not only enhances Patel Engineering’s order book and international footprint, but also reinforces its focus on hydropower and sustainable infrastructure development across neighbouring markets.
