It took more than five years of hard work and manpower of 14,500 to set up the Karcham Wangtoo Hydel Power Project – the largest hydropower station ever to be constructed by a private firm in India, is all set to be rolling.
The team battled the rugged terrains of the mighty Himalayas and created a monumental project that costed approximately $1.5 billion and stands on the river Sutlej in Himachal Pradesh. The 1,000MW hydropower project is believed to be the key to unlock India’s energy potential, the fifth largest power market in the world.
Surrounded by jagged peaks, prone to sub-zero winters and accessible only by steep mountain roads, the story of the state-of-the-art hydropower project, would be premiered on 21 December 2013 at 6 pm on National Geographic Channel on A Himalayan Megastructure.
The Himalayas stand as a fortress to India’s northern frontiers, but flowing through its valleys, in Himachal Pradesh, was the key to unlocking India’s energy potential – the river Sutlej. These waters are vital to driving the fifth largest power market in the world, and it is right here that an audacious new chapter in India’s power history has been written. Challenging all that was known and conceivable, the visionaries at Jaypee Group saw their dream through to its completion. In the ultimate joint venture between man, machine and nature, the Karcham Wangtoo Hydel Power Project saw the light of day.
