Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.
Original manifesto wording
“We will partner with neighbouring countries to strategically manage the Himalayan rivers. Our focus will be on holistic measures to mitigate the devastating effects of floods and harnessing hydroelectric power to generate affordable electricity.”
Our Assessment
India pursues trans-boundary river cooperation (e.g. with Bhutan and Nepal on hydropower and water management, and data-sharing arrangements) and is expanding hydroelectric capacity in the Himalayan/Northeastern region (large hydro projects in Arunachal Pradesh and elsewhere). However, holistic flood mitigation across Himalayan rivers and comprehensive partnerships remain works in progress, with some cross-border water issues unresolved. Partial, low confidence.
