Carbon Market Watch expresses concern that royalty payments—defined as the free supply of a portion of generated electricity (typically 13%) to state governments—are not being accounted for in the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) calculations for hydro power projects in India. The organization asserts that this practice artificially keeps the IRR below benchmarks, specifically citing Project 5788, a 15 MW Small Hydro Electric Project in the State of Orissa.

• Royalty payments in India, which typically involve providing 13% of generated electricity for free to the State government, are not being included in IRR calculations for some hydro power projects, which artificially suppresses the IRR below the required benchmark.
