CCI may take up three hydro power projects at next meeting

NEW DELHI: The Cabinet Committee on Investment (CCI) at its next meeting may take up three hydro power projects that have been held up on account of environmental and forest clearances.

The three hydel projects -- Tawang (800 MW) and Tato (700 MW) and Teesta (520 MW) --have been awaiting environmental clearances for a very long time. “These projects in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim have been sent to CCI from the Power Ministry for clearance,” said a source.
