The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has approved NHPC's investment of ₹26,069.50 Crore for building the 1720 MW Kamala Hydro Electric Project in Arunachal Pradesh. The project will have 8 units of 210 MW and 1 unit of 40 MW, expected to generate 6,870 million units of energy annually. It will be executed as a joint venture between NHPC and the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. The Centre will provide ₹4,743.98 Crore for flood moderation, ₹1,340 Crore for roads, bridges and transmission infrastructure, and ₹750 Crore as central financial assistance for the state's equity. The project has a 96-month (8-year) completion timeline.
This significantly expands NHPC's hydro portfolio and long-term revenue potential, but the 8-year execution period means benefits are distant and carry typical hydro project risks. Substantial government budgetary support eases the financial burden on NHPC's balance sheet.
