MP News: Madhya Pradesh is going to achieve a major achievement in the field of power generation and clean energy. A plant, one of Asia's largest hydro power projects, has been completed in Neemuch district of the state at a cost of about Rs 6000 crore. With the commencement of this project, there will be a big increase in the power generation capacity of Madhya Pradesh. While giving information about this project in Indore on November 5, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that its first turbine will start working from December 2026. At the same time, power production from the entire plant is expected to start by March 2027.
The project was completed at a cost of Rs 6000 crore.
According to Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, this hydro power plant in Neemuch district has been constructed by a private company. About Rs 6000 crore has been spent on this entire project.
