The Arunachal Pradesh government has decided to hand over five terminated hydropower projects with a generation capacity of 2,820 MW to two central public sector undertakings (CPSUs).
These five projects would require an investment of Rs 400 billion in next 5-7 years. Of the five projects, two hydropower projects – Naying (1,000 MW) and Hirong (500 MW) would be handed over to the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO); and Emini (500 MW), Amulin (420 MW) and Minundon (400 MW) to the SJVN Limited for development. These projects would provide revenue of around Rs 5 billion per year and around Rs 1 billion for local area development.
