On 19 January, 2026, Chief Minister Lalduhoma laid the foundation stone for the 24-MW Tuirini Small Hydro Electricity Power Project (SHEP) on the Tuirini River in Aizawl district.

The event was attended by State Home Minister K Sapdanga and chaired by Power and Electricity (P&E) Minister F Rodingliana. The project, estimated to cost Rs 676.98 crore, will be funded by the New Development Bank (NDB) with 80 percent of the cost covered by a central government loan and the remaining 20 percent contributed by the state. The Tuirini SHEP is scheduled for completion within five years. CM Lalduhoma highlighted recent power generation efforts, mentioning the 10-MW Thenzawl Solar Power Plant, which was inaugurated last month, and the five-MW Solar Power Plant at Sumsuih, which is currently under construction.

The CM also discussed the Tuivai hydro-electric project near the Manipur border, emphasizing its revised capacity of 132 MW due to submergence concerns.
