for Restoration of Terminated Large Hydropower Projects under Special Circumstances

Policy, 2025’.

(2)

It shall come into force on the date of Publication in the official Gazette.

II.

Introduction : Arunachal Pradesh, with an estimated hydropower potential of approximately 58,000 MW,

represents an important component of India’s renewable energy, accounting for nearly 40% of the nation’s

total hydropower capacity. The State’s distinctive topography, together with its hilly terrain, abundant

rainfall and a network of rivers and tributaries, positions it as a critical hub for hydropower development.

The State’s five major river basins – Kameng, Subansiri, Siang and Dibang and Lohit –holds considerable

potential for sustainable energy generation.

Several projects were previously allotted to Public Sector and Private Sector Enterprises basis the

State’s Hydropower Policy. However, some projects allotted to private sector could not be initiated due to

a variety of circumstances. At present, there exist large projects with estimated generation potential of

1,284 MW which were allotted to Private Sector Enterprises and subsequently terminated by the State

Government on account of non-initiation of construction, non-achievement of financial closure etc.

Therefore, this policy aims to lay down the guidelines vide which such terminated projects may be

restored to the serious and interested original allottee, in an effort to enhance the ease of doing business

in the hydropower sector, attract further investments in the sector and enhance energy security and

economic growth.

III.

Definitions : In this policy, unless the context otherwise requires,

“Policy” means Policy for Restoration of Terminated Hydropower Projects 2025.

“LHP” means Large Hydro Projects greater than 100 MW of installed capacity.

“MW” means Mega Watt.

“KW” means Kilo Watt.

“MoA” means Memorandum of Agreement.

IV.

Vision :

To accelerate the revival and completion of stalled large hydropower project which achieved

good progress by means of collaboration, streamlined execution, delivering high-quality infrastructure

efficiently and effectively to maximize the State’s Hydropower potential.

Mission : To create a development-focused environment through timely project restoration and completion

of stalled Large Hydropower Projects be leveraging existing expertise, clear communication, mitigating

project risks, enhancing operational efficiency to reduce delays and cost overruns in the execution of

large hydroelectric projects.

VI.

Objectives : The Government of Arunachal Pradesh through this policy aims at the revival of terminated

large hydropower projects, which achieved substantial progress at site, so as to mitigate the issues

arising out of them contributing to prolonged dispute due to time-consuming litigation processes, long

running cost implications and blockage of State Revenues with no certainty of restoration of such

projects.

Part - III ] The Arunachal Pradesh Gazette, March 15, 2025 41

Published and printed by Directorate of Printing and Stationery, Naharlagun—125/2025-DoP-250-3-2025.

Therefore, this policy aims to lay down the framework and general guidelines under which terminated

projects may be restored to the serious and willing original allottee and provide a fresh opportunity for

such allotees to undertake timely execution of such projects.

The major objectives of the policy are as followers :

Restore the terminated large hydropower projects to the erstwhile allottee, subject to various mutually

agreed upon terms and conditions as laid down in this Policy.

Resolve litigation and start the project work immediately leading to lower litigation cost.

Leverage existing developer’s familiarity with the projects and their expertise to efficiently complete

the project, improving its overall quality and performance.

Utilise the existing developer’s established processes and systems that can streamline project

execution, potentially reducing delays and cost overruns.

Leverage the developer’s familiarity with the project risk, scope and execution improving risk

management and reducing uncertainties associated with ongoing arbitration.

Re-draft an incentive and penalty-based implementation plan to motivate the developers to complete

the projects within a freshly defined timeline, as may be mutually agreed between the State

Government and such developers.

Reduce the turn-around-time of various clearances by re-validating/renewing the clearances already

obtained by the developers.

VII.

Applicability of the Policy : This policy shall apply only to large hydroelectric projects, as defined by

the State Hydropower Policy, 2008 subject to the following general conditions :

The policy for restoration of large hydroelectric projects shall apply only in case of projects which

were allotted to Private Sector Developers as per the State Hydropower Policy, 2008 and

subsequently cancelled by the State Government prior to the date of notification of this Policy.

The project has received all requisite clearances and achieved considerable physical progress

prior to termination by the State Government.

The project has not been allotted to any other entity by the State Government after such

cancellation.

The erstwhile allottee should furnish specific and genuine reason for the non-implementation of

the project in accordance with the mutually agreed upon terms and conditions as per the original
