This work will involve approximate a cost of 10 Crores and time required is estimated to be two years. The works will comprise refurbishment of existing generating units, replacement of penstock and associated civil works. MNES, Government of India has revised its incentive schemes to take into account development of SHP projects up to 25 MW & commissioned seven years prior to the date of the request of the proposal submitted to the MNES.The existing equipment/works of Galogi SHP are in poor condition and need repair, retroffing and replacement are required so as to enable harnessing of the water power potential.The RMU of this project will contribute to

• Utilization of water power potential and providing environ-friendly electricity to the nearby area.
  

• Help meeting power requirement of the concerned power supply system.
  

• Promoting tourism in the valley.
  

• Preserving heritage related to early years of the last century.
