Environmental Hearing Set for 1000 MW Naying Hydro Project
2025-10-13
The environmental public hearing for the 1,000 MW Naying hydroelectric project will take place on November 12 at Yapik community hall in Shi-Yomi district, Arunachal Pradesh, officials confirmed. The run-of-the-river project on the Siyom (Yomgo) river is being developed by the North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO).
Construction, including a concrete dam, underground powerhouse, and tunnel, is expected to commence around 2028, with commissioning planned by 2032. The project aims to generate approximately 4,966.77 GWh of electricity.
The Naying project received Central Electricity Authority concurrence in 2013. Earlier construction timelines were delayed due to environmental and social concerns, including the diversion of significant forest land and public protests over dam impacts.
On October 7, the Arunachal Pradesh government approved joint ventures between NEEPCO and Arunachal Pradesh Hydropower Corporation Ltd to advance the state’s hydro power mission under the Decade of Hydro Power (2025–35), targeting 19 GW capacity, investment attraction, and job creation while supporting India’s net-zero goals.
