## History

Bairabi Hydel Project is a 120 MW project initiated by Brig [Ṭhenphunga Sailo](/source/%E1%B9%AChenphunga_Sailo)[2] during [Mizoram People's Conference](/source/Mizoram_People's_Conference) government. [National Hydroelectric Power Corporation](/source/National_Hydroelectric_Power_Corporation) had started the survey and investigation of Detailed Project Implementation in 1982. NHPC prepared the feasibility reported on the basis of field investigations which were completed in 1982-83.[3]

Due to the change in government in 1984, the Congress Government led by [Pu Lalthanhawla](/source/Pu_Lalthanhawla) came to power, Techno-Economic Clearance, Forest & Environment Clearance was pursued but not successful, hence Brahmaputra Board was asked to reinvestigate and prepare a DIPR, who reduced the power project from 120 MW to 80 MW.[4]

The [Mizo National Front](/source/Mizo_National_Front) Government under [Pu Zoramthanga](/source/Pu_Zoramthanga) came to power in 2000, even though Techno-Economic Clearance and Forest Environment Clearances were received, but due to non availability of funds, no progress was made.

The Congress Government led by [Pu Lalthanhawla](/source/Pu_Lalthanhawla) came back to power in 2008, A MoU was signed between the Government of Mizoram and Sikaria Power Ltd, Kolkata on 10 August 2012 out of which the State Government will receive 13% free and the remaining amount will be sold to the government.[5]
