The Expert Appraisal Committee of India's Ministry of Forests, Environment & Climate Change has extended the environmental clearance for the 850-MW Ratle hydroelectric project to December 11, 2030, with a potential two-year extension. Initially granted in 2012, the clearance was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting the Ratle Hydroelectric Power Corporation Limited to seek an extension, which the EAC approved.
