India To Commence Trial Runs For The Country's Largest Hydropower Project Near China Border

A government of India enterprise, NHPC Ltd, will commence trial runs in July for the Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project (SLHEP).

The project is situated in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.

NHPC Limited, formerly known as National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Ltd, is the largest hydropower development organisation in India.

After a delay of 20 years, India is finally approaching the launch of a hydropower project that is essential for the region's energy transition. The project has been in the works for a long time and is a significant step for India.

SLHEP is the biggest hydroelectric project undertaken in India so far and is a 'run of river' scheme with a small pondage on river Subansiri.

A run-of-river dam is one in which the flow of water in the river downstream of the dam is the same as the flow of water upstream of the dam.

The project is located near North Lakhimpur on the border of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. The nearest railhead is Nagaon and the nearest airport is Lilabari/Dibrugarh.

The estimated annual energy generation from the project is 7421.59 MU in a 90 per cent dependable year. The installed capacity of the project is 2,000 Million Watts (MW).

"Being a part of the cascade development conceived by the Brahmaputra Board, the project would also afford relief from floods by moderating the flood in the Subansiri river,” the NHPC Ltd stated in a release, adding that “the project will bring overall development in the area and give a fillip to the overall economy".

The first unit of the project is expected to be operational by December, with all eight units commissioned by the end of 2024, according to finance director Rajendra Prasad Goyal.

As solar and wind power generation rises, hydropower plays a crucial role in balancing the electricity grid. Its ability to respond quickly to fluctuations in demand makes it even more important.

However, environmental damage concerns have led to opposition and protests. The 2-gigawatt project began in 2003 but was delayed by litigation and protests.

The project's cost has increased from the original estimate of 212.5 billion rupees ($2.6 billion) to over three times the initial estimation.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) agreed to resume work in 2019 after an eight-year suspension.

India has not been able to explore its hydropower potential of 145 gigawatts due to dam opposition, thus limiting its effectiveness.

According to Goyal, obtaining approvals from various departments is crucial before the construction of a hydropower project can begin. He emphasised the need for thorough scrutiny at this stage as any stoppages during construction can pose problems.

In India, large dams are viewed as a means of promoting local economies, particularly in regions bordering China and Pakistan.

As construction of the Subansiri project nears completion, the NHPC is preparing to award construction orders for the massive 2.9-gigawatt Dibang hydropower plant, which represents the country's largest planned hydropower project.

The Indian government has taken steps to accelerate the development of hydropower projects, including providing large dams with clean energy status.

This designation ensures that provincial power distributors prioritise the purchase of hydropower over electricity generated from fossil fuels. Furthermore, the government has agreed to provide budgetary support for some civil construction and flood moderation work

Let me remind you that China is upstream of rivers.

Going by the same nature of logic, let me remind you that India is upstream in majority of your energy trade routes.

The upstream of China's trade is resource countries such as Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Nigeria.

As for India, we don't need curry style English customer service.

Source it wherever you want, geography and economics insist they go through our backdoor.

The majority of you lot must learn english first to avail that service, as even the learned ones can't differentiate between source and upstream. I'd recommend daily reading to correct the issue.

China collapses again?

Remind you that if you try something foolish on China's trade route, China will give you rocks in the Himalaya mountains like 1962. Chinese submarines will punch holes in your mighty aircraft carriers and destroyers.

●PLAAF can at best employ about 130-160 aircrafts due to the severe limitations of air bases in this theatre.
●Out of the 7 airfields it has, none except Lhasa is able to house a full squadron. Tibet has 4 air bases, out of which only Ngari is close to Ladakh.
●The other 3 – Shigatse, Lhasa and Nyingchi are 1500 to 2500 kms away. All the 4 Tibet bases are at a high altitude of more than 4000 meters, effectively reducing their weapon load and range by half, and making them visible to an enemy with a high performance AEWCS platform
● Xinjiang air bases are at a medium altitude of 1300-1600 meters, but are farther than the Ngari air base, between 300 to 700 kms from the Pangong area.

I see you becoming the most Jai hind indian on this forum now.

Airfields for fighter aircraft operations have to be located at reasonable distances (approximately 200 to 300km) from each other so that they are mutually supporting. The three airfields of PLAAF in the Northern sector- Hotan, Kashgar and Korla are not mutually supporting. The distance between Hotan and its nearest airfield, Kashgar, is 450km; between Hotan and Korla is 750km; Hotan to Gargunsa is 550km. Thus, there is no mutual support between these airfields. In Western Tibet, there is only one airfield, Gargunsa and has no supporting airfield. If this one airfield is bombed by the IAF, there will be a distance of almost 1,500km between Hoping and Hotan thus severely denting PLAAF operations in Western Tibet

ok jai hind.

Thank you for illustrating my point.

Just as China has options to disrupt our supply lines so do we.

It's interesting that you'd bring up submarines, I'd recommend reading about the geology of the sea bed post malacca straights and how the entire area gives undue advantage for submarine detection. The geology of the sea bed is such that Any ships passing through that area can be easily picked up by detection equipment from the Andaman islands as those island provide a hawk eye view of the entire sea bed. That effectively Negates the surprise element of submarines. The same is true for other points of entry to the Indian ocean.

While it would be foolish to discount the capabilities of your navy, it would be equally foolish to discount the capabilities of ours, especiallyin our backyard.

Lol, You junk navy will be obliterated by the mighty Chinese submarine force.

The quality of Indian Navy and air force is too poor. Indian aircraft and warships are only assembled or imported goods. Cannot engage in prolonged combat. and Indian aircraft and warships lack modern training. But Bollywood gives India confidence.
