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.

The water conductor system is now almost ready.
