Hydro reservoir levels hit lowest since 2023 as El Niño impact raises power generation concerns
Hydroelectric power reservoirs in India have reached their lowest levels since 2023, impacted by erratic weather from El Niño. Of 30 major reservoirs, 23 reported lower water levels, leading to a 10.75% year-on-year decline in hydropower generation from April 1 to July 30, dropping from 60,522.95 million units to 54,019.42 million units. This trend raises concerns about future power generation.
