North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited (NEEPCO) has recorded its highest-ever profit after tax of ₹769.08 crore in the financial year 2025-26, strengthening its position as a major contributor to electricity generation in Northeast India. The corporation accounts for 32.6% of the region’s total installed power generation capacity and continues to pursue new hydropower and solar projects alongside its corporate social responsibility initiatives.
The corporation highlighted its financial performance, upcoming projects and community development activities during the monthly meeting of the Inter-Media Publicity Coordination Committee (IMPCC) held in Shillong on Friday. The meeting also reviewed publicity activities undertaken during the previous month and discussed ways to improve public awareness of government programmes and institutional initiatives.
NEEPCO has an installed generation capacity of 2,051 MW across the Northeast, comprising 1,519 MW of hydropower, 527 MW of gas-based electricity and 5 MW of solar power. According to the National Power Portal figures cited by the corporation, the Northeast has a total installed power generation capacity of 6,298 MW, with NEEPCO accounting for nearly one-third of the regional total.
Hydropower Projects to Add 1,126 MW
NEEPCO is pursuing three hydropower projects in Arunachal Pradesh with a combined proposed capacity of 1,126 MW. These include the 240 MW Heo project, the 186 MW Tato-I project and the 700 MW Tato-II project.
The projects form part of the corporation’s efforts to expand electricity generation capacity in the Northeast, a region with significant hydropower potential. Their proposed development would add to NEEPCO’s existing generation portfolio and strengthen its role in meeting electricity demand.
Alongside its hydropower expansion, the corporation is pursuing a 300 MW solar photovoltaic project in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The proposed project represents an expansion of its renewable energy activities beyond the Northeast and adds solar power to its development pipeline.
The combination of hydropower, gas-based generation and solar energy reflects NEEPCO’s diversified generation portfolio as it works to expand capacity and support electricity availability.
CSR Initiatives Focus on Community Development
NEEPCO also highlighted its corporate social responsibility initiatives across education, healthcare, sanitation, skill development and community infrastructure. These programmes are aimed at supporting local communities and addressing development needs in areas connected with the corporation’s operations.
As part of the Swachhata Hi Seva campaign, NEEPCO has adopted the MUDA Shopping Complex at Khyndailad in Police Bazar as a Cleanliness Target Unit. Cleaning activities are being undertaken at the site to improve public hygiene and encourage cleaner public spaces.
The initiative forms part of the corporation’s broader efforts to support sanitation and community well-being through its CSR and public outreach activities.

NEEPCO Chief Human Resources Officer Samiran Sinha Ray welcomed participants at the IMPCC meeting and briefed them on the corporation’s financial performance, ongoing projects and other initiatives.
The meeting also reviewed publicity work carried out during the previous month and discussed plans to improve communication around government programmes and institutional activities.

NEEPCO’s record profit in FY26, ongoing hydropower development in Arunachal Pradesh and proposed solar investment in Rajasthan underline the corporation’s continued role in electricity generation and capacity expansion. Its CSR activities in education, healthcare, sanitation, skill development and community infrastructure further reflect its engagement with development priorities alongside its power sector operations.
