THE MYNTDU LESHKA HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT

The project completion schedule is as below:-

The commissioning & commercial operation dates are as follows:-

The delay in completion and commissioning of the Project are due to many reasons, the main one being due to continuous rainfall experienced in the Project site (as the Project area is located in the southern slope of the State and it is in the same belt with Cherrapunjee) and also due to the geological condition in the Project.

The rain affected the work at the dam which started since May, 2004. Hence the work had to be stopped and it was restarted from October 2004 onwards. However the work for the dam was disrupted again by rain in 2005-2006 and 2007 and in 2007-2008 the work at the power house got badly affected with a sudden flood in April 2008, thereby halting the work. It may be mentioned that both the works involve working below river bed level and hence rain is bound to disrupt the work. However the work at HPT has not been much affected since it is above the river bed level. The rainfall at the Project site lasted for about six months.

On completion, the Project would generate about 372.69 Million Units of Electricity annually from the first two Units. The estimated cost at 1999 price level is Rs.363.08 Crores and the revised Cost at 2006 price level is Rs.671.29 Crores, inclusive of the Interest During Construction (IDC).
