SJVN Ltd has been given five hydroelectric projects in Arunachal Pradesh with a combined generation capacity of 5,097 MW.

The five projects are located in tributaries of the Dibang River and were given funding by the government of Arunachal Pradesh. According to a statement from SJVN, they are 3,097 MW Etalin, 680 MW Attunli, 500 MW Emini, 420 Amulin, and 400 MW Mihumdon.

The development of the five projects will involve an investment of more than Rs 50,000 crore and will reduce carbon emission by around 1.1 million tonnes per year.

The government of Arunachal Pradesh has terminated pacts with various private power developers as they "showed less interest" in executing projects given to them, the statement said.

The projects, which have been withdrawn from private developers, are now being handed over to central public sector undertakings.
