The hydro renewable energy component must be met from hydropower projects, including pump storage projects and small hydro projects commissioned after March 31, 2024. It may also be met from the free power provided to the state or power distribution licensee from hydro power projects commissioned after March 31, 2024, or from hydro power projects located outside India, as approved by the central government on a case-by-case basis.
