The 900 MW Arun-III Hydro Electric Project is being executed in the Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal through SJVN’s wholly owned subsidiary, SJVN Arun-3 Power Development Company Pvt. Ltd. On commissioning, the project is expected to supply clean power to the Indian grid and play a vital role in meeting the region’s rising energy needs. Commissioning is targeted for the financial year 2027–28.
The 210 MW Luhri Stage-I and 382 MW Sunni Dam projects, both under construction on the river Satluj in Himachal Pradesh, are also key components of SJVN’s green energy portfolio.

Both projects are scheduled for commissioning by December 2028.
