The Union Power and New & Renewable Energy Minister, Shri R. K. Singh, held a meeting in New Delhi to review the progress of the Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project (2000 MW), which is being executed by NHPC Ltd. in Arunachal Pradesh/Assam.

The Power Minister reviewed the construction progress, safety aspects related to the project, and preparations required in view of the upcoming monsoon season. The project head presented the current status of progress in various work packages, along with details of safety considerations and preparedness as per laid down technical standards in view of the upcoming monsoon months.

The project has made significant progress in dam concreting (14 blocks have reached the top level of 210 meters, and the remaining 2 blocks will be completed by June 2023). During the last 6 months, 37 meters of dam height has been raised with concrete pouring of more than 2.5 lakh cubic meters, which is a remarkable feat. Additionally, the river-facing wall of the power house has been raised to a safe elevation of 116 meters, and the tail race channel has been completed for all units. The water conductor system is now almost ready.

After the review, the Union Minister expressed satisfaction with the work progress and directed NHPC to proceed with all necessary safety precautions. The CMD of NHPC assured that the company is striving to commission the first unit with a capacity of 250 MW in December or January 2024.
