Restoration of Tripura's Gumti Hydroelectric Project to Start in December
Restoration work on Tripura's sole 2.5-MW Gumti hydroelectric project, damaged by 2024 floods, is set to begin in December with an estimated cost of Rs 100 crore. The government conducted feasibility studies involving NIT Agartala, IIT Guwahati, NHPC, and BHEL. Upon completion, the plant is expected to generate 10-11 MW daily. The project, established 56 years ago, also serves as a tourist attraction. The National Dam Safety Authority organized a related awareness program emphasizing downstream safety.
