New DPR for Talong HEP

ProjectsToday: The detailed project report prepared by Central Electricity Authority for the 160- mw Talonq hydroelectric power plant in East Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh is said to Contain insufficient data. A fresh DPR is therefore, on the cards.

North Eastern Electric Power Corporation, which is developing the power project on build-own-operate-transfer basis, has appointed GMR Energy as contractor. GMR Energy has signed an MoU with the Arunachal Pradesh government. The agreement entails the implementation, operation and maintenance of the project on the Kameng river in Seppa district of the state. The power unit, to be built at an estimated cost of Rs 900 crore, will be funded through 70 percent debt and 30 percent equity.

The project is scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2011.
