SJVN's 900 MW Project in Nepal

SJVN's Arun-3 hydroelectric project in Nepal, boasting a capacity of 900 MW, is set to commence power generation by 2025. This significant venture, developed by SJVN Limited, aims to bolster energy cooperation between India and Nepal, strengthening bilateral ties and fostering regional development.

Located on the Arun River in the Sankhuwasabha District, Arun-3 is expected to transform Nepal's energy landscape. The project is nearing completion, with major construction milestones, such as the power house and dam site, already advanced. Despite facing challenges, including difficult geological conditions and local opposition, the project's progress has been commendable.

The initiative is not only a major step towards energy self-sufficiency for Nepal but also a vital component of India's renewable energy goals. It aligns with India's commitment to enhancing its hydroelectric capacity, contributing to a sustainable and greener future.

SJVN's efforts have garnered support from both the Indian and Nepalese governments, emphasizing the strategic importance of the project. This collaboration underscores the shared objective of maximizing the hydroelectric potential of the Himalayan rivers, which is crucial for regional energy security.

Upon completion, Arun-3 will significantly increase Nepal's power generation capacity, providing reliable electricity to millions. This project also promises numerous socio-economic benefits, including job creation, improved infrastructure, and enhanced local business opportunities. The investment in local education and healthcare facilities further exemplifies SJVN's commitment to community development.

In summary, the Arun-3 hydroelectric project is a landmark achievement in Indo-Nepal energy cooperation. Its successful execution will not only meet the growing energy demands of both nations but also pave the way for future hydroelectric collaborations, contributing to long-term regional stability and prosperity.
