            Four sites in Kaimur  District  have been identified for installation of pumped storage schemes with a total potential of  2570 MW. One of these, Sinafdar (115x3 MW) is to be implemented by a Central Government Undertaking, the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) as proposed by the Union Ministry of Power (MoP). The State Government has consented to this proposal.

 

            Steps have been initiated to have remaining three projects viz Telharkund (4X100 MW), Panchgotia (3x75 MW) and Hathiada-Durgawati (8x200 MW) implemented by obtaining financial assistance from international funding agencies like the JBIC.
