The visit focused on reviewing the project’s current power generation status and addressing related operational issues.Discussions were held on the ongoing repairs to the first unit, which is expected to be back online by June 15th, 2024.

He emphasized the importance of diligent work and professional precision to M/S. Multi Tech Engineers, the firm entrusted with the project’s completion.

This highlights the Meghalaya government’s commitment to improving the efficiency and reliability of its power generation infrastructure. The visit by the Power Minister underscores the importance placed on the Myntdu Leshka Hydro Project and the ongoing efforts to ensure its smooth operation.
