Ghunsa Khola HEP

 

A recent revision of the feasibility study for GKHEP has reaffirmed the project's technical soundness. Furthermore, a thorough financial analysis underscores its economic viability, promising substantial returns on investment. The project's original EIA received approval in 2012. In a significant recent development, the SEIA Report, which delves deeper into the environmental implications and corresponding mitigation strategies of the project, secured its approval. This approval is a precursor to initiating significant procurement activities, contingent upon the fulfillment of specific financial prerequisites.

Currently, the project is navigating through its pre-construction phase. Strategic measures are being adopted by RHL to ensure project execution.
