Arunachal transfers 11 Gw stalled hydropower projects to Central PSUs
Stalled hydropower projects in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, which have seen no progress in the past two decades, could finally see the light of day as the state government has transferred them to central public sector utilities.
These 12 hydroelectric projects, totalling 11 gigawatt (Gw), were awarded to several private companies at least 15 years ago, but none saw any progress.
In a public statement on Saturday, the Union Ministry of Power said the Government of India and the Government of Arunachal Pradesh have come together “to rejuvenate and execute 12 stalled hydroelectric power projects in the state”.
