Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein disclosed this strategic move, which involves entrusting the projects to NEEPCO Ltd, NHPC Ltd, SJVN Ltd, and THDC India Ltd – renowned CPSUs with expertise in the hydropower sector. The transfer process has been thoughtfully planned in consultation with various stakeholders, including the Government of India (GOI), and will be officially established through the signing of memorandum of agreements (MoAs) between the Government of Arunachal Pradesh (GoAP) and the CPSUs.
To expedite the smooth transition, Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein and Dr. Hari Krishna Paliwal, Advisor to GoAP, recently met with Union Power Minister Raj Kumar Singh.

He acknowledged the significant role they will play in the state's overall development. The Power Minister promptly addressed relevant concerns raised during the meeting, further strengthening the partnership between the GOI and the Arunachal Pradesh government in their shared goal of hydropower development in the region.
Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein emphasized that this strategic move represents a remarkable milestone in the region's hydropower development efforts. The initiative is expected to have lasting positive effects on the state's economy and the lives of its people, reinforcing Arunachal Pradesh's position as a key player in the hydropower sector.
