Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has been vested with the responsibility of developing Small Hydro Power (SHP) projects up to 25 MW station capacities.
Small hydro power projects are further classified as

Micro Hydro Up to 100 Kw
Mini Hydro 101 to 2000 Kw
Small Hydro 2001 to 25000 Kw

Renewable energy accounted for 18.37% of the total installed power capacity in India in. India set a target of producing 40% of its total energy needs through renewable sources by 2030, as stated in its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions statement in the Paris Agreement. Present power generation capacities from these sources are:
Wind power 32,715 Mw
Solar power - Ground Mounted 14,751 Mw.
Solar power - Rooftop 823 Mw.
Biomass power 8,181 Mw.
(Biomass & Gasification and Bagasse Cogeneration)
Small hydropower 4,399 Mw.
Waste-to-Power 114 Mw.
