India's tallest dam coming up in Arunachal Pradesh

India Oct 05, 2025

Prime Minister Modi just reviewed the Dibang Multipurpose Project in Arunachal Pradesh, set to become India's tallest dam at 278 meters.
If all goes to plan, it'll be ready by 2032 and will produce a massive 2,880 MW of clean energy.

Modi pushes for speedy, cost-effective work

This isn't just about breaking records—the Dibang dam will help control floods and boost power for the region.
It sits near the China border on a Brahmaputra tributary, acting as a buffer against sudden upstream water releases.
With NHPC launching a ₹17,069 crore global tender and Modi pushing for speedy, cost-effective work (along with seven other big projects), this is about protecting communities and powering up India's future.
