Energy is the key infrastructural input for any nation. It is one of the pivotal factors in determining the growth of the economy. India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world with increasing energy demand year by year. Indian power sector has seen a growth trajectory over the recent decades in its entire value chain like generation, transmission and distribution. World-wide all the countries are focusing on energy security and sustainable development. India as a nation committed towards promotion of Green Energy and has targeted 175 GW of renewable capacity addition by 2022. In the recent past policy makers have taken many initiatives towards increasing generation renewable sources of energy like Solar, Wind, Biomass and Hydro. As the largest renewable energy comes from the proven technology Hydro Power, over the years various policy level changes have been incorporated for harnessing& exploiting maximum available hydro power potential in the country. This paper reviews the available literature on several policies and initiatives regarding growth and development of hydro power in India with special reference to Uttarakhand.
