India’s Largest Hydropower Dam on Siang River: A Strategic Milestone

 


India is embarking on an ambitious project to construct its largest hydropower dam on the Siang River in Arunachal Pradesh. With an estimated cost of ₹1.5 lakh crore, this project is not only a significant infrastructure development but also a strategic move to counter China's hydropower construction across the border. The dam will have a capacity of over 10 GW, making it a key addition to India's renewable energy portfolio and a step toward energy security.

Beyond its energy benefits, the dam aims to regulate water flow, preventing potential floods in downstream areas caused by excessive discharge from Chinese projects. While the project reflects India's resolve to assert its rights over the Brahmaputra basin, it also highlights the importance of balancing ecological concerns and geopolitical strategies.

This landmark project, once completed, will serve as a symbol of India's engineering prowess and its commitment to sustainable growth and regional stability.
