The construction of Pazhassi Sagar mini hydroelectric project, which was stalled for around ten months, has resumed.
Though the construction started in 2017, and the aim was to commission the project this year, it was delayed since the work was halted by RS Developers, the company given the contract, and the monsoons.
The Tamil Nadu-based company had asked Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) to revise the estimated amount and allow a compensation proportionate to the additional work after the two floods in the State. However, KSEB rejected the proposal, and the company approached the High Court with a demand to exempted itself from the work. As no favourable decision was made, the company agreed to continue the work without changing the terms of contract.
