NHPC is set to start construction of the 2,000 MW Lower Subansiri power plant, having secured approval from the Assam government, which has inked a MoA with Arunachal Pradesh for setting up the ₹20, 000 crore project. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) had given the go-ahead to the project, which has been stuck for the past eight years. The run-of-the-river project on the Subansiri, a tributary of the Brahmaputra, is mostly situated in Arunachal Pradesh but some parts of the submergence area fall in Assam. Work on the project is expected to be completed in three-and-a-half years. The dam has been strengthened to withstand seismic activity up to a magnitude of 8 on the Richter scale, which makes it one of the strongest dams in India.
