Larji Hydroelectric Power Project

Larji Hydroelectric Power Project is commissioned in 27 December 2006. It has a total installed capacity of 126 MW. The type of project is Major, since plant capacity is greater than 25 Megawatt. The type of plant is run of river generation in Dam. The status of the power plant are completed and are Operational. The source of water is Beas River and the basin is Indus River up to national border. The station is located in the North Hydroelectric region.

The power plant is owned and operated by the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board. The beneficiary states of the hydroelectric project are HP and other neighbouring states. The power project is completed in 2006. The type of turbine used is Kaplan and the total number of turbines used in the power station are three. The Capacity per turbine would be 42 MW. So the total installed capacity of hydroelectric power plant is 126 Megawatt (i.e. 42 MW x 3 units).

The Turbine and Generator Manufacturer of power plant is Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited. The unit sizes of the power plant is 126 MW (3 units x 42 MW). There are three units in operation and all the three units are commissioned.

How to Reach: Larji Hydroelectric Power Plant is erected at the Beas River of Mandi district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. You can arrive this power station via Road, Rail or Air. The nearest well-connected town from the Larji power plant is Mandi. The power plant is located at about 54 kilometres away from Mandi. You will get taxi or bus services from Mandi to the Power Station. Mandi Railway Station is the nearest well-connected railway station, whereas the nearest airport is the Kullu Airport at Bhuntar, which is located at a distance of about 75 km away from Mandi.
