Central electricity authority Annual Report 2009-10
Mawhu (90 MW), Demwe Lower (1750 MW)
and Tato-II (700 MW) have already been
prepared. The status of preparation of DPRs
for H.E. projects in North Eastern Region is
given at Annexure-11A.
11.4 Mega Hydro Electric Projects
planned in North-eastern Region
The Region presents very attractive sites
for providing large storage with multi-purpose
aspects of development. Major developments
are under various stages in Siang, Subansiri
and Dibang basins in Arunachal Pradesh and
Tipaimukh (1500 MW) in Manipur.

Rotung village in Arunachal Pradesh, the project
was modified into three separate schemes
envisaging a total capacity of about 13,600 MW
in three power houses. Brief details of these three
schemes are as under:
