The last year has been very good for NHPC. All projects have been executed successfully, except the Subansiri project.

We are presently implementing Parvati II - 800 MW, Kishanganga – 330 MW, Teesta Low Dam Project IV – 160 MW, and will soon be starting the civil construction work of Subansiri project in Arunachal Pradesh.

We have four projects in various stages of planning. They are Teesta IV – 520 MW, Tamang I – 600 MW, Tamang II – 800 MW, and Kotri 1A – 165 MW.

We don’t consider these issues as hurdles; we treat them as procedural formalities. The single window clearance is the only answer and the Narendra Modi Government is working in that direction.

The nation needs a comprehensive National Hydro Policy touching on vital aspects such as facilitating faster clearances, tariffs, funding pattern and logistics development presently loaded on power developers.
