Summary

SJVN's official project record for the 900 MW Arun III HEP, read with its dated 2025--26 corporate disclosures. It distinguishes the public technical baseline, individual construction milestones and an announced schedule target from a verified project-wide completion forecast.

Key Findings

  • Installed capacity: 900 MW.
  • Design energy: 4,018.87 GWh in a 90%-dependable year.
  • Generating configuration: four 225 MW units.
  • The project includes a 217 km 400 kV evacuation component to the Nepal–India border.
  • SJVN describes major works as in progress.
  • A 23 May 2025 SJVN power-sale-agreement announcement describes commissioning in FY 2027/28 as the project's expectation.
  • SJVN's May 2026 investor presentation instead lists expected commissioning in FY 2028/29 Q3. This later corporate schedule supersedes the earlier FY 2027/28 expectation for monitoring, but is still an announced target rather than a verified completion forecast.

Relevance

This is the current technical baseline for Arun 3. It supports component-aware monitoring of the generating works and evacuation line, without converting dated corporate milestones into a comparable completion percentage.

Limitations

The current project page does not provide a single dated, package-defined physical-progress percentage. The later FY 2028/29 Q3 statement is an investor-presentation expectation, rather than a firm current commissioning commitment. Corporate review events do not substitute for package progress reports or an energisation record.
