The Public Investment Board (PIB) has officially approved the 1,720 MW Kamala Hydroelectric Project in Arunachal Pradesh, marking a significant step towards bolstering India's green energy capacity and flood control efforts. This ambitious project, proposed on the Kamala River—a major tributary of the Subansiri River in the Kamle district, and also spanning parts of Kra Daadi and Kurung Kumey districts, is estimated to cost approximately ₹26,070 crore. The project is designed as a storage-based scheme, encompassing the construction of a 216-meter high concrete gravity dam and an underground powerhouse. Upon its scheduled completion in eight years, it is projected to generate 6,869.92 million units of clean energy annually. This substantial contribution aligns with the Indian government's energy transition initiatives and its ambitious Net Zero target by 2070. Beyond power generation, a crucial component of the Kamala Hydroelectric Project is its role in flood moderation for the Brahmaputra valley, addressing a long-standing challenge for the region. The implementation will be carried out through a joint venture, with NHPC holding a 74% equity stake and the Government of Arunachal Pradesh owning the remaining 26%. The financing structure includes a debt-equity ratio of 70:30, supported by central government grants for infrastructure and flood moderation, along with state GST reimbursement. The approval underscores India's commitment to large-scale renewable energy projects and regional development.
