Why was the Siang Upper Multipurpose Project not planned above Yingkiong?
Because the location of a project of this scale depends on far more than just geography. Factors such as reservoir capacity, long-term safety, flood moderation potential, terrain suitability, and ensuring that the storage area remains fully within Indian territory all play a critical role in the final decision.Watch the full video to understand the reasoning behind the selected site and how the project is being planned with water security, strategic considerations, and regional safety in mind.

-Securing the future of Arunachal Pradesh! 🌊
The Siang river has always been the foundation of our prosperity and culture. To protect against the threat of sudden floods and droughts, the new Siang Upper Multipurpose Project will regulate water flow, ensuring year-round water for our fields and absolute safety for our villages. A massive step forward for both security and development! 🇮🇳✨

A brighter, stronger future for our next generation! 🚀 Today, our local youth are actively employed at the dam site, and our community is growing more prosperous every single day, all while keeping our rich, traditional heritage completely untouched."

Supporters of the 2880 MW Dibang Multipurpose Project (DMP) highlight that compensation received during the project implementation enabled many affected families to construct permanent concrete houses, improve their livelihoods, and invest in education and employment opportunities for their children.

Building on these life-changing successes, the highly anticipated Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) is poised to bring this exact same wave of prosperity, unlocking massive economic growth, new infrastructure, and a brighter future for the entire region!

Safety first, always 🏗️⚡

When discussing the Siang Upper Multipurpose Project, a common question arises: Why not build multiple smaller dams instead of one large structure?

The truth lies in water management. Smaller structures simply cannot retain or control the massive volumes of water required to prevent seasonal flooding. A single large reservoir provides the necessary scale to regulate heavy inflows, protecting thousands of lives and livelihoods in the Siang Basin.

Sustained development, robust protection.

The proposed Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) is not being planned above Yingkiong due to strategic safety, storage capacity, and geographical considerations. Experts say the selected location must safely store nearly 9.2 BCM of water while ensuring the reservoir remains completely within Indian territory.

The mega project is expected to generate around 11,000 MW of electricity and also help in flood control, water regulation, and downstream protection in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. Areas near Geku and Parong are reportedly being considered more suitable for the project due to their terrain and storage potential.

Apart from hydropower generation, the project is also viewed as strategically important in managing future upstream water-related risks along the Siang River.
