New Delhi, Oct 21 — National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) announced the commissioning of Unit 5 at its Subansiri Lower Hydro‑Electric Project in Arunachal Pradesh. The new unit has been brought online following successful testing and regulatory clearances.
The Subansiri Lower project, a key component of India’s renewable energy push, consists of multiple generating units. The activation of Unit 5 expands the plant’s operational capacity, strengthening power supply in the northeastern region.
