The Jammu and Kashmir government has officially handed over two significant hydro power projects—240 MW Uri-I Stage-II and 260 MW Dulhasti Stage-II—to the National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC), totaling 500 MW. This transfer is part of an agreement signed on March 27, 2026, in Jammu, which stipulates that the projects will operate under a Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model for 40 years before being returned to the Union Territory. PDP leader Waheed ur Rehman Parra criticized the timing of the decision during the ongoing assembly session, emphasizing that Jammu and Kashmir will receive over 12% of the electricity generated from these projects. In contrast, NC spokesman Imran Nabi Dar defended the government's decision, accusing the PDP of misinformation and asserting that the interests of Jammu and Kashmir's residents are being prioritized. The political discourse surrounding this agreement highlights the ongoing tensions between the two parties regarding the management of hydroelectric resources in the region.
