Correct Answer:
Option B —
NHPC and JKSPDC
The Ratle Hydroelectric Power Corporation Limited (RHPCL) was incorporated in 2021 as a Joint Venture Company (JVC) to implement the 850 MW Ratle Hydroelectric Project on the Chenab River.
Key Partnership Details
The venture is a collaboration between two major power entities:
NHPC Limited: A Government of India Enterprise (formerly National Hydroelectric Power Corporation).
JKSPDC: Jammu and Kashmir State Power Development Corporation, representing the Union Territory government.
Project Overview
The project is a run-of-the-river scheme located in the Kishtwar district. Because the Chenab is one of the "Western Rivers" under the Indus Waters Treaty, the design must comply with specific technical criteria to ensure it does not significantly affect the water flow reaching Pakistan.
