Kundan Green Energy has secured an order to construct a greenfield hydropower plant at Rellichu in Sikkim. Awarded by the Government of Sikkim, this project reflects the company’s track record of successfully executing hydropower projects. Scheduled for completion in 2026, the Rellichu hydropower project will generate 21 MW of power, significantly contributing to Sikkim’s energy and developmental goals. Upon commissioning, the Rellichu project will increase Kundan Green Energy’s combined hydropower capacity to 125 MW from the current 104 MW.
Speaking on the occasion, Udit Garg, director, Kundan Green Energy said “The Northeast accounts for 40% of India’s hydropower potential. Of this, Sikkim’s hydropower potential is assessed at 8000 MW peak with a firm base of 3000 MW. With as many as 29 approved hydropower projects in various stages of development, and a 55 MW small hydropower installed capacity, Sikkim has vast potential to generate hydroelectricity. We are enthused to partner with the Government of Sikkim to realize the state’s hydropower potential along best practices.”
