Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project located in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam has achieved complete construction of dam till the top level of Elevation Level (EL) 210 M in all blocks. Apparently, this is a significant milestone towards completion of the 2,000 MW project being executed by NHPC Ltd.

Earlier this year, Power and New & Renewable Energy Minister R.K. Singh had reviewed the progress of the project. At that time, the project had achieved significant progress in dam concreting, with 14 blocks having achieved top level of 210 meters and the remaining two blocks were slated to be completed.

NHPC has informed that more than 90 percent of the total work of the project has already been completed. The construction of all major components, including dam, power house and hydromechanical works is fast progressing towards completion.

The remaining work of radial gates will be completed after the monsoon season and electricity generation is expected to begin by the end of Financial Year 2023-24.

On completion, the Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project will generate approximately 7,500 million kilowatt-hours of power annually, in a 90 percent-dependable year.
