This document by Urgewald provides a brief overview on the role of India's premier dam building agency, the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) in the construction of dams in India and is highly critical of the mode in which the NHPC has been aggressively expanding its operations of building dams across rivers in the country.

It aims to inform the public, investors and financiers about NHPC’s track record and expansion plans and presents compiled information from three regions where NHPC has been actively involved in the construction of dams namely:

Narmada Valley in Central India
Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh in Northeastern India
The lands of the Kuki people in Northwestern Burma, where NHPC is building a dam for the military junta.
