MEIL is set to invest an estimated 21,000 INR-Crore to establish two pumped storage hydro projects in Maharashtra. These will have a combined capacity of around 4,000 MW. These projects will operate under the build-operate-maintain (BOM) model.
The two hydro projects are- The ‘Kamod pumped storage project’, located in Nandurbar, and the ‘Ghosla pumped storage project’, situated in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. These ambitious ventures will generate around 2,500 jobs, contributing to local economic growth. While MEIL aims to complete the Ghosla project in three and a half years, the Kamod project will take around five years. Moreover, both projects will feature newly constructed upper and lower reservoirs in a closed-loop system. This design will generate power and provide at least six hours of energy storage daily.

Additionally, a powerhouse will be installed between the two reservoirs, equipped with reversible pump turbines, generators, and auxiliary systems. These systems will be interconnected through a water conductor system, ensuring efficient energy transfer. These projects by MEIL will not only address the energy needs of Maharashtra but also serve as catalysts for the state’s development.
