State-run National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) expects to commission nearly 610 MW hydro projects this fiscal.
"We are hopeful of commissioning two units of 40 MW each of the 160 MW Teesta Low Dam Project Stage IV in West Bengal and 330 MW Kishanganga projects," NHPC Chairman and Managing Director KM Singh told reporters here today.
The company is also hopeful of commissioning one unit of 200 MW of the 800 MW Parbati II in Himachal Pradesh.
"We believe that not only we will be able to commission the Parbati II project but also confident that the Parbati III project...Will also commence operations. The water that will be used for Parbati II will be made available for Parbati III," he said.
The 520 MW Parbati III project was commissioned completely in 2014, but due to insufficient availability of water the project was not operating in its full capacity.
Singh further said the Parbati II project will be completely operational by November 2018.
