The Kamala Hydroelectric Project is located in Arunachal Pradesh, a state known for its vast hydropower potential due to its river systems and mountainous terrain. The project is situated on the Kamala River across the districts of Kamle, Kra Daadi, and Kurung Kumey. With an installed capacity of 1,720 MW, it is a storage-based hydropower project that also includes flood moderation features. The initiative supports India’s renewable energy expansion, strengthens power supply in the Northeast, generates employment, and contributes to the country’s long-term net-zero emissions target.
