Apart from the Tapovan project, the Pipal Koti (4×111 MW) project of THDC India Limited, and Vishnuprayag (400 MW) project of Jaypee Group have also faced damages. The 13.2 MW Rishi Ganga small hydro power project which is on the upper stream of the Alaknanda river was the first to face the brunt of the avalanche. The debris from the plant caused damage to other units downstream.
