Rampur Hydro-electric Project (412 MW) is located downstream of already
executed 6 x 250 MW NJHEP and intends to use the desilted water discharge by
the upstream project. As such the construction of Rampur HEP does not involve
construction of any dam / desilting chambers and thus avoiding any serious
environmental impact on local flora and fauna. It is proposed, to divert water
from out-fall arrangement of NJHEP through a 10.5 mtr. Dia HRT of 15.088 kms.
Length. The construction of the project involves in addition to the Head Race
Tunnel a 155.75 mtr. High and 38 mtr. dia surge shaft, 3 numbers of pressure
shafts/penstocks of 5.4 m/3.8 m dia each and a surface Power House.
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on 20th oct. 2004 with the
Government of H.P. The Stage-I and Stage-II activities have almost completed.
The Govt. of India has accorded Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA)
clearance to Rampur HEP on January 25, 2007, subsequent to which the major
civil works of Rampur HEP were awarded on February 1, 2007 and
Electromechanical works were awarded on september 16, 2008.
The Company has adequate inhouse expertise and skill to execute this
project. On account of Power shortage in the northern grid to which the power
to be generated shall be fed, the Company does not foresee any difficulty in
selling the power. The Company seeks thru this presentation to invite
in-principle willingness and indicative terms & conditions for raising debt
funds to complete the project.
Rampur HE Project has added one more feather in its cap to become the
first Hydro Electric Project in India to obtain ISO 14001 & IS 18001 for
Environment Management System and Occupational Health & Safety Management
System respectively at execution stage in a remarkable shortest spell of
four months.
