Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu reviews major hydropower projects, emphasizing local welfare and national energy security.
Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has reviewed the progress of key hydropower projects in Dibang Valley district, underscoring the State’s push to balance timely execution with local welfare, infrastructure development and national energy security.
The projects he reviewed included the 3,097 MW Etalin Hydroelectric Project (HEP) and the 680 MW Attunli HEP, which are under implementation, along with those under survey, such as Emini (500 MW), Amulin (420 MW) and Mihumdon (400 MW).
“With a total planned capacity of 5,097 MW, discussions focussed on timelines, statutory clearances, and ensuring that development supports local communities while strengthening India’s energy security,” Mr. Khandu said in a statement after a meeting with power developers.
Slated to be India’s largest hydroelectric project, the Etalin HEP on the Dri River is expected to commence soon.
“Being developed by SJVN Limited, the project is envisaged as a transformative initiative to accelerate infrastructure growth, generate employment, boost local livelihoods and significantly augment the country’s clean energy capacity,” the Chief Minister said.
