India's Adani Group plans to build 10 gigawatts of overseas hydroelectric projects over the next few years, four sources familiar with the plans told Reuters, helping the conglomerate reach its net zero carbon emissions goal by 2050.

The group is exploring building hydroelectric projects in countries such as Nepal, Bhutan, Kenya, Tanzania, the Philippines, and Vietnam, said sources

While the group is mostly focussed on building pumped hydro storage in India, it is drawn to countries that have favourable topography and demand for hydropower

The evaluation process is underway and the Adani Group is talking to some of the governments as well as private parties.
