Miyar Hydro Electric Project
Project Capacity - 120 MW
The project envisages an installation of 120 MW capacity and has been awarded to Moser Baer through the international competitive bidding process. The project component comprises of a construction of a 25 m high diversion structure, about 6.6 km long headrace tunnel, an open to sky
restricted orifice surge tank, a surface powerhouse complex on the right bank of river Chenab near Udaipur town. Power would be generated by harnessing 215.54 m of rated head between intake and tail race outfall location.
 
Status/ Progress/ Development
- TOR from MoEF for carrying out Pre- Construction activities has been obtained.
- Survey and investigation completed.
- Site office is operational.
- Automatic Weather Station is running and real time data on various weather parameters being observed.
- On-site hydrological observation.
- Hydrological Study approved by CWC/CEA.
- Power Potential Study approved by CEA.
- TEC granted by CEA on 07th February 2013.
- Environment Clearance Granted by MOEF, Stage-1 Forest Clearance granted by MOEF.
- Acquisition of private land is in progress.
- Grant of Connectivity is issued by PGCIL.
- CSR programme continuing
- Voluntary plantation programme continuing
Project Location
Miyar Hydroelectric Project is located in District Lahaul and Spiti, Himachal Pradesh on the Miyar Nallah which is a major tributary of Chenab River.
Project Objectives
The Project shall provide:
- Peaking power
- Renewable energy which helps reduce carbon emissions.
- Development of remote area.
- Sustainable business and lowering cost of generation of electricity.
Project Strengths
- Location Advantage
- Embedded in the deficit Northern Grid resulting in minimal losses in transmitting to delivery point in the Northern Region Grid.
- Project alignment along the existing road which will reduce construction of any extensive intra-site roads.
- Easily accessible for quick commencement of project development and construction.
Others:
- Low population density.
- No displacement.

Seli Hydro Electric Project
Project Capacity - 400 MW
The project envisages an installation of 400 MW capacity and has been awarded to Moser Baer through the international competitive bidding process. The project component comprises of a concrete gravity dam of about 80 metre height above river bed level with two headrace tunnel of approximately 4.2 km and an underground powerhouse complex on the right bank of river Chenab. Power would be generated by harnessing 114.92 m average gross head between intake and tail race location.
