The Kalai-II Hydroelectric Project (HEP), recently approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), is a major 1200 MW project on the Lohit River in Anjaw district of Arunachal Pradesh. It will be implemented by a joint venture involving THDC India Limited and the state government, with an estimated investment of ₹14,105 crore and a construction timeline of about 78 months.
Technically, Kalai-II is a run-of-the-river project, utilizing natural river flow with minimal storage, thus reducing large-scale displacement and ecological disruption compared to conventional dams. It is expected to generate around 4,852 million units annually, contributing to India’s target of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
