Arunachal eyes boost in hydropower with push for small-scale projects

Itanagar, Apr 10 (UNI) Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has encouraged power developers operating in the State to explore smaller hydropower projects within their respective river basins to further enhance the state’s power generation capacity.
Chairing the 8th Meeting of the Steering Committee of the Department of Hydro Power Development in Tawang on Thursday, Khandu noted that the tributaries of the state's five major rivers hold potential for generating between 100 to 300 MW of power. He suggested that Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) already engaged in large-scale projects could simultaneously undertake smaller, viable projects.
“As you already have men and machinery at the work sites, it shouldn’t be a difficult task,” Khandu observed.
