India set to start mega hydropower project near China border

印度将启动中印边境附近的大型水电项目

NEW DELHI: India is close to starting a mega hydropower project that has been in the works for 20 years, a key step in the country’s energy transition.

新德里：印度即将启动一个大型水电项目，该项目已进行了20年，是印度能源转型的关键一步。

State-run hydropower company NHPC Ltd. will start trial runs in July for the Subansiri Lower project that runs through the states of Assam and Arunchal Pradesh in the country’s northeast. The first unit is expected to be commissioned in December, according to finance director Rajendra Prasad Goyal.

国有水电公司NHPC将于7月开始试运行苏班西里下游项目，该项目贯穿印度东北部的阿萨姆邦和“阿邦”（注：即我藏南）。该公司财务总监戈亚尔表示，首台机组预计将于12月投入使用。

By the end of 2024, all eight units will be commissioned, he said.

他说，到2024年底，所有8个机组都将投入使用。

Hydropower, with its ability to quickly respond to fluctuations in electricity demand, is seen crucial for balancing the grid as intermittent generation of solar and wind power rises. However the 2-gigawatt project, started in 2003, was delayed by protests and litigation, driven by concerns over environment damage.

随着太阳能和风力发电的间歇性增加，能够快速响应电力需求波动的水力发电被视为平衡电网的关键。然而，这个于2003年启动的20亿瓦项目，因担心对环境造成破坏，遭到抗议和诉讼而推迟。

The cost of the project jumped to Rs 212.5 billion ($2.6 billion), more than three times the original estimate. The National Green Tribunal allowed the work to resume in 2019 after eight years of suspension. Opposition to dams has limited the country to tap barely a third of its hydropower potential of 145 gigawatts.

该项目的成本跃升至2125亿卢比(26亿美元)，是最初估计的三倍多。国家绿色法庭在暂停了8年之后，于2019年恢复了这项工程。对大坝的反对限制仅能开发其145千兆瓦水电潜力的三分之一。

“We need to get nearly 40 approvals from different departments before we start building a hydropower project. All the scrutiny should be done at this stage,” Goyal said. “Any stoppages after the construction has begun is problematic.”

“在开始建水电项目之前，我们需要从不同部门获得近40项批准。所有的审查都要在这个阶段完成，”戈亚尔说，“施工开始后的任何停工都是有问题的。”

印度时报读者的评论：

True

China loving Congress didn't want to hurt China so even work started in 2003 corrupt Congress stalled the project and actual work begin after Modi became PM.

喜欢中国的国大党不想伤害中国，所以即使早在2003年就开工了，腐败的国大党也一直拖，直到莫迪成为总理后才真正开始动工。

yes, these anti national also hate Hindus r the root cause why this country remains as underdeveloped, they don't want India to be a developed nation at any cost

这些反国家的人也讨厌印度教徒，这是这个国家一直不发达的根本原因，他们不希望印度成为发达国家，不惜任何代价阻挠

Swapnil Rao

This Project was in developmental stage since years. Thanks to Present govt for getting numerous Infrastructure projects including Highways completed in Record time. Great development which are also creating jobs in Lakhs

该项目多年来一直处于建设阶段。感谢现任政府在创纪录的时间内完成了包括高速公路在内的众多基础设施项目，也创造了成千上万的就业机会

China will throw every possible wrench in the wheel to disrupt.

中国或尽一切手段进行破坏。

Abhi G

No need of China, we have enough enemies inside India to disrupt

不需要中国动手，在印度国内有足够多的敌人，他们会搞破坏

Ivan Wolf

No need for China. India dams will collapse due to mice/rats and crabs alone. Bridges will collapse too.

不需要中国动手，印度大坝会因为老鼠和螃蟹的破坏而坍塌，桥梁也会倒塌。

人民党万岁，莫迪万岁。愿我们永远不会再看到国大党上台，阿们。

All the credits and highly appreciated to the present Govt for its dynamic progress in every field specially in defense sectors, foreign reserve, China & Pakistan border infrastructure development and so many other sectors. Really absolutely fit for to take over next 10 years ruling of the nation.

感谢现任政府在各个领域取得的积极进展，特别是在国防、外汇储备、中巴边境基础设施建设等领域，绝对适合再执政10年。

Sandeep Bhatia

Why invest when every state is offering 200 - 300 units of free electricity. Teach Indians to live without electricity. Nothing is free in this world.

每个邦都提供200 - 300单位的免费电力，为什么还要投资？教教印度人如何在没有电的情况下生活，这个世界上没有免费的东西。

Hemant Raskar

hope khangress does nothing but shaming india at all fronts.......... they will never understand how much resource india has and how to use it for power equation............

国大党一事无成，只会在各方面让印度蒙羞，他们永远不会明白印度有多少资源，以及如何将其用于力量平衡

Npt

only and only modi has the guts to go ahead with such projects.

If we loose this, man in 2024 just imagine who will rule us, all scoundrels, corrupt, dynasts and spineless.

Take care india.

只有莫迪有勇气推进这些项目。如果2024年莫迪输了，想象一下谁将统治我们，是腐败、懦弱的恶棍国大党。印度保重！

Zamser Nakwi

I hope it will be built with least corruption, operated with full safety and efficiency..and well guarded as it is near the border areas.

我希望建设过程中没有什么腐败，以完全安全和高效的方式运营，而且因为靠近边境地区，要有严密的守卫。

India should charge money to Bangladesh, has this project will help them in flood mitigation

印度应该向孟加拉国收费，这个项目能帮助他们缓解洪水吗？

Yoeasy

Great job, anti will not see progress done all over the place. Also India is so big, more and more project will keep comming. Modi goverment vision, power, execution is so big, it will present corupt congi uncompetent.

干得好，反对不会带来任何进展的。此外，印度这么大，会有越来越多的项目启动。莫迪政府有远见，有强大的执行力，这使腐败的国大党显得更无能。

Amrutlal Tank

A 2003 project is delayed due to various cumbersome procedural approval and finally in 2019 actual construction started.. and Thanks to This govt. that it is completed and ready for commissioning..

2003年开始的一个项目，由于各种繁琐的程序审批而被推迟，最终在2019年真正开工。多亏了这届政府，现在已经完工，准备投入使用了。

Rakesh Kumar

Bravo finally. People of Bihar and North East will have stable water, electricity, and no5floods.

终于好了，比哈尔邦和东北邦的人民将有稳定的水电供应，不会有洪水了。

Hridoy Baruah

But behind this seemingly great news for the rest of the country only the affected people of Assam know what danger is waiting for construction of this mega dam project in a most seismic sensitive red zone area.

但在这个看似好消息的背后，只有受影响的阿萨姆邦人民知道，在地震最敏感的红色地带建这个大型大坝项目将面临什么样的危险。

Ding Dong

wrong strategy ... in a war, they might destroy it and the calamity will be into indian side ... not near the border atleast

错误的策略，在战争中，敌方可能会摧毁大坝，灾难会降临到印度这边…至少不要在边境附近建啊
