Coinciding with the birth anniversary of His Royal Highness Gyalsey Jigme Namgyel Wangchuck, the Minister for Energy and Natural Resouces, officially launched the Gamri-I and Bamukparongchhu Integrated Hydropower Project at Sakteng in Tashigang. 

Designed with an installed capacity of 54MW, the Gamri-I Hydropower Project is a significant initiative in Bhutan’s ongoing efforts to enhance its renewal energy capacity. Located in the eastern region of the country, this project is a part of Bhutan’s second phase of small hydropower development, aiming to bolster national energy security and contribute to socio-economic growth.

For Vajra, it is the second hydropower project to be handled. The first was the construction of 18MW Hydropower Project at Suchhu in Haa, which is scheduled to be completed and commissioned in March 2025
