The investment for the 382 MW Sunni Dam Hydro Electric Project in Himachal Pradesh by SJVN, for an estimated cost of Rs 26.14 bn, has been approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, which is chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This includes Rs 138 mn as budgetary support from the Government of India for the cost of enabling infrastructure.

Ex-post facto permission is granted for whole expenses spent up to January 2022 totaling Rs 2.46 bn.

The project's total cost of Rs 26.14 bn was made up of Rs. 22.46 bn in hard costs, Rs 3.58 bn in interest throughout construction, and Rs 91.5 mn in financing charges, respectively.
