Voith Hydro receives order for Sainj's Hydro Electric project in HP

Voith Hydro Private Limited, a group company of Germany-based industrial equipment major Voith has received an order for engineering, supply of equipment and construction of entire plant equipment package including Turbine Generator and Electrical & Mechanical auxiliaries for 2 x 50 MW Sainj Hydro-Electric Project.

The scheme is a Run-of-the-River hydro power plant on the river Sainj near Suind village, and a tributary of Beas in Kullu, a district in Himachal Pradesh. Run-of-the-river hydro power plants require considerably smaller water storage, and at times no water storage at all, and do not obstruct the natural flow of the river. Two Pelton turbines of 50 MW each will be installed for power generation.
