With the Unit 1 rotor successfully in place the project team will now focus on the alignment of the turbine-generator shaft, final stator-rotor air gap adjustments, and the integration of associated auxiliaries, paving the way for wet commissioning and subsequent synchronization.
Shongtong Karchham HEP is a run-of-the-river development on the Satluj River, located in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. The project is designed to generate 450 MW of clean power through three vertical Francis turbine-generating units of 150 MW capacity each.
In an achievement for the clean energy sector of Himachal Pradesh, HPPCL has successfully accomplished a major milestone at the 450 MW Shongtong Karchham HEP. Today, the massive 375 MT generator rotor of Unit-1 was successfully lowered into underground power house of the project.

The diversion tunnel works of Renukaji Dam Project constitute a vital and foundational component of the project. The Package-1 contract has been awarded to Patel Engineering Limited at an estimated cost of ₹910.08 crore, with a completion timeline of 30 months.
Package-1 of Renukaji Dam Project involves the construction of three diversion tunnels, each approximately 1455 meters in length with a proposed internal diameter of about 9.50 meters. These tunnels will enable the diversion of river flow of this Project.
On this occasion, Sh. Vinay Kumar emphasized the project’s progress, significance, and its positive impact on regional development. He noted that the initiation of DT works will accelerate both the technical and overall advancement of the project.
Shri Vinay Kumar, Hon’ble MLA and President of Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee, today performed the Bhoomi Poojan ceremony to mark the commencement of Diversion Tunnel works under Package-1 of the Renukaji Dam Projectan important step forward in the project’s implementation.
This milestone has been achieved between Face 0 and Face 1, covering a length of 1,117.69 meters with a tunnel diameter of 3.1 x 3.2 meters.This breakthrough connects approximately 1.8 km of the total 5,145.84 meters long tunnel. @hppcl_in@GreenEnergy @chanju
