His previous assignments include roles at the Tattapani geothermal project and the company’s corporate office.

Leadership changes at the regional level are significant for project execution and energy supply in the region. NHPC’s projects contribute to electricity generation, grid stability, and local employment. Efficient management of these assets is also key to advancing renewable energy goals and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
With Gouraha now leading NHPC’s northern operations, the focus is expected to remain on improving plant performance, advancing ongoing projects, and strengthening sustainable energy initiatives in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
