The Odisha state cabinet has approved a proposal to develop a pumped storage power project worth ₹4,708 crore, marking a significant step toward enhancing the state's energy infrastructure.
In a recent cabinet meeting, the Odisha government approved a proposal for a pumped storage power project valued at ₹4,708 crore.
The project will involve constructing a reservoir and power station that can store excess electricity during low demand and generate power during peak hours.
This approval is expected to boost the state's renewable energy capacity and provide a reliable backup for the grid.
The government will now move forward with feasibility studies and land acquisition, with the project slated to be completed within the next few years.
