The Hon’ble Minister of Power and New & Renewable Energy conducted a detailed review of NEEPCO at Guwahati on 6th February 2022.

The Hon’ble Minister exhorted NEEPCO to become a 4000 MW plus company in the next 7 to 8 years and assured full support. NEEPCO has been recently allocated 17 large Hydro Projects by the MoP in Arunachal Pradesh totaling more than 6000 MW in Stand-alone and JV mode.
