NHPC partners with BEML to develop solutions for hydro plants

NHPC has partnered with BEML to explore opportunities for developing desilting and dredging solutions for hydroelectric power plants. 

These solutions will also help mitigate urban waterlogging during monsoons by clearing canals and culverts and support dredging operations in inland waterways, coastal areas, ponds, and lakes.

The companies have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for strategic cooperation in this area. Upon successful implementation in pilot projects, the solutions are expected to be expanded across other hydro plants in India, strengthening the country’s renewable energy infrastructure.

NHPC Chairman and Managing Director R K Chaudhary highlighted that the partnership aims to enhance power generation efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and support India’s renewable energy goals, while positively impacting the environment and local communities.
