DMR Hydroengineering & Infrastructures, in collaboration with Germany-based Fichtner, has secured the consultancy contract to prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Aruna Pumped Storage Project (PSP) in Maharashtra. The contract, awarded by THDC India, envisions a capacity of 1,950 MW and is expected to play a key role in supporting Maharashtra’s renewable energy ambitions.
The total consultancy assignment is valued at Rs 88 million and must be completed within 13.5 months from the date of award. DMR Hydroengineering is leading the project, while Fichtner contributes its global engineering expertise, reflecting a strong partnership between domestic and international technical know-how.
Once operational, the Aruna PSP will significantly enhance Maharashtra’s energy storage capacity and aid the integration of solar and wind energy. It will provide crucial support in managing peak electricity demand, bolstering grid stability and reliability.
The initiative also highlights DMR Hydroengineering’s commitment to large-scale renewable energy storage solutions. By deploying pumped hydro technology, the Aruna PSP will serve as a critical element in India’s growing clean energy infrastructure and long-term sustainability strategy.
