Strategically important hydro project in Arunachal gets environmental clearance
The Central Government has granted environmental clearance to the Oju hydroelectric project in Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Subansiri district, paving the way for the construction of one of India’s largest hydropower ventures in a geologically sensitive and strategically important region bordering China. The project, to be developed by Oju Subansiri Hydro Power Corporation Pvt Ltd, envisages generating 2,220 megawatts of electricity through a run-of-the-river scheme with daily peaking capability.
