THDC India Ltd achieves a significant milestone
THDC India Limited has achieved a significant milestone at its 444 MW (4x111 MW) Vishnugad-Pipalkoti Hydro Electric Project (VPHEP) with the successful lowering and placement of the assembled Main Inlet Valve (MIV) of Unit-1 on 02 June 2026.
The milestone event was virtually graced by Sipan Kumar Garg, Chairman & Managing Director, THDC India Ltd., who congratulated the entire project team for their dedication and commitment in achieving this significant feat.
