As you all know, the power we consume daily can be generated through various methods. We can generate power without disturbing the ecosystem through run-of-the-river hydroelectric power projects. These projects generate electricity by utilising the natural flow of a river or other water source without significantly disrupting the river's natural flow or ecology. In a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power project, water is diverted from a river and channelled through a pipeline or canal to a turbine, generating electricity. The water is then returned to the river downstream, with little or no impact on the river's natural flow or ecology. Unlike traditional hydroelectric power projects, run-of-the-river projects can be built on smaller rivers or streams and do not require significant land or water resources. Run-of-the-river hydroelectric power projects are essential to the world's renewable energy mix and can provide clean, reliable, and sustainable energy while minimising negative environmental impacts.

The MEIL is constructing two significant run-of-the-river hydropower projects in India. One is the 850 MW Ratle Hydro Power Project on the river Chenab River in the Kishtwar district of Jammu & Kashmir and the 25MW run-of-the-river hydropower project on the Beas river tributaries Lambadug Khad and Uhl in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. Once these projects are ready, they will cater to the power needs of people and positively impact the socio and economic profile of the states.



Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) is a major infrastructure company headquartered in Hyderabad, India.The company was established in 1989 as a small fabrication unit. In due course of time, the unit made a name for itself. We are fired by the zeal to equip the country with an engineering and infrastructure foundation that can hold up its pillars for generations to come.
