• Name: Hydropower 

• Incorporated: February 21, 2008 (996CO)

What’s Known

While the company is listed publicly as established in 2008 and located in Lalitpur, there’s no readily available information indicating:

• Exact projects they’ve developed.

• Installed capacity or operational hydropower plants.

• Any recent developments, licenses, or active projects linked in mainstream media.

This suggests that Divya Jyoti Hydropower may be at an early stage, potentially holding licenses or in planning phases, but without well-documented executed projects.

Broader Context: Hydropower Expansion in Nepal

• In a notable development, API Power Company Limited recently decided to acquire Divya Jyoti Hydropower Pvt. Ltd., the entity that holds the license for the Marsyangdi Besi Hydropower Project (a 50 MW run-of-river project near Besisahar Municipality). The acquisition was approved in API’s board meeting on Shrawan 27, 2082 BS (mid-2025) (996CO, Nepal Database).

• Marsyangdi Besi Project Details:

  • Capacity: 50 MW, employing two 25 MW Francis turbines.

  • Annual Generation: Estimated 321.15 GWh (65.5 GWh in dry season, 258.65 GWh during rainy season).

  • Infrastructure includes a 6.65 m tunnel, a 315 m penstock, and a semi-underground powerhouse. The generated power will connect to a substation in Udipur, just 5 km from the powerhouse .

Industry Outlook & Regulatory Environment

• The Ministry of Energy, under Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's directive, is scrutinizing non-operational hydropower projects and may revoke licenses if progress isn't shown (myRepublica).

• Nepal envisages a massive expansion in hydropower—with goals to generate up to 28 GW over the next decade and export a significant portion, particularly to India and Bangladesh (Reddit, Kathmandu Post).
