Description
Description | The Kalai-II hydroelectric project is a 1,200 MW run-of-the-river hydropower project proposed on the Lohit River in Arunachal Pradesh, India. It involves the construction of a 128.5 m concrete gravity dam and an underground powerhouse, with forest clearance granted for clearing 869 hectares of forest including submergence in Anjaw and Namsai forest divisions. The project is owned by THDC India Limited and includes compensatory afforestation in Madhya Pradesh. The project has raised concerns due to its location in the habitat of the critically endangered White-Bellied Heron, with a wildlife management plan to be reviewed by the Wildlife Institute of India to ensure ecological coherence and mitigation measures. |
