Siang Multi-Purpose Hydropower Project

Planned

A proposed multi-purpose hydroelectric project on the Siang river in Arunachal Pradesh. The project is significant for managing the impact of the world's biggest dam being constructed by China on the upper reaches of the river in Tibet. The government plans to engage in dialogue with protesters and has directed the constitution of new development authorities for future-ready alternate towns. It also plans a 'necklace road' along the Siang river above the likely submergence area on both banks of the river.
