Texmaco Rail & Engineering Limited has successfully completed the erection and commissioning of hydromechanical systems for the 2000MW Subansiri Lower hydroelectric project, marking a significant milestone in one of India’s largest hydropower developments.
The project, comprising eight generating units of 250MW each, is located on the Arunachal Pradesh–Assam border. Developed by NHPC Limited, the Subansiri Lower project is a key component of India’s renewable energy expansion programme.
According to Texmaco Rail & Engineering Limited, the commissioning of the hydro-mechanical systems represents a major contribution to the country’s large-scale hydropower infrastructure. The company highlighted that the milestone underscores its capabilities in delivering complex engineering solutions for critical water and energy infrastructure.
Speaking on the achievement, Mr Mukherjee, Managing Director of Texmaco Rail & Engineering, said: “Completing the Hydro-Mechanical systems for the Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project is a proud moment for Texmaco. This achievement demonstrates our leadership and unmatched expertise in delivering complex infrastructure projects. We are honoured to contribute to India’s renewable energy goals and remain committed to delivering excellence in every project we undertake.”
NHPC Limited has already announced the commercial operation date (COD) for the first generating unit, with three additional units subsequently commissioned. The remaining four units are scheduled for phased commissioning through the 2026–27 financial year.
Once fully operational, the Subansiri Lower hydroelectric project is expected to play a pivotal role in strengthening grid stability, supporting clean energy generation, and advancing India’s long-term hydropower and decarbonisation objectives.
