It is a matter of great honor to lead the operational aspects of Madhya Bhotekoshi Jalavidyut Company Limited during this critical phase. The development of the 102 MW hydropower project has encountered several hurdles, including natural disasters and technical complexities. However, our dedicated team has continued to push forward with resilience and professionalism. We are focused on achieving timely project completion while ensuring quality, safety, and sustainability. This project is not just about power generation—it is about empowering rural communities, reducing import dependency, and supporting Nepal’s journey toward green energy. Looking ahead, we plan to enhance efficiency, maintain stakeholder engagement, and contribute meaningfully to the national grid.
