02 Dec 2013 Evaluate

NHPC, the country’s largest hydro power producer is planning to commission over 3,800 MW of five delayed projects by 2018. These five projects, with a combined capacity of 3,810 MW, were envisaged earlier but got stuck due to environmental or contractual issues.

The 2,000 MW Subansiri Lower project in Assam, which was expected to be commissioned by December 2012, is now likely to become operational by December 2017. While, the Teesta Low Dam Project-IV in West Bengal with a total capacity of 160 MW and Kishanganga in Jammu & Kashmir with a total capacity of 330 MW will be completed by November 2014 and November 2016, respectively.

Further, Parbati-II (800 MW) will be commissioned in March 2018. It had been scheduled to be ready by March this year, while the company’s Uri-II (240 MW) project in J&K was commissioned last month.

NHPC is engaged in the planning, development and implementation of an integrated and efficient network of hydroelectric projects in India. It executes all aspects of the development of hydroelectric projects, from concept to commissioning.
