Hydropower is a consistent, eco-friendly, and long-lasting energy source, particularly in mountainous areas with lot of water. The Jammu Division is laying in the northern part of India has great ability for hydropower due to its hilly region, flowing rivers, and good weather conditions. This paper examines the growth, challenges, opportunities, and future possibilities of hydropower projects in the Jammu Division. It uses quantitative method and qualitative method, analysing primary data as well as secondary data from government reports, research papers, and hydropower development agencies. The study focuses on major hydropower projects, their impact on society and the economy, environmental issues, and policy challenges.
