HSPL can sell upto 40 per cent stake before the Commercial Operation Date (COD), the company has taken permission from the Himachal Government for the minority stake sale.

The Sorang hydroelectric project, which is coming up at the Sorang Khad, a river originating in the Himalayas, will supply electricity to the northern states of India. The construction of the Sorang hydroelectric project stands almost completed and the plant is expected to begin operations in 2013.

HSPL, the developer of the 100 MW hydroelectric plants, with an estimated cost of nearly Rs 600 crore, is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed for implementation of the project by a consortium of NCC and IL&FS. While, NCC holds 67 per cent equity in the SPV, IL&FS Engineering owns the balance of 33 per cent.
