Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) has secured a Rs 524.17 crore contract from NHPC at the Salal Power Station in Jammu & Kashmir. The project involves civil and hydro-mechanical works, along with associated ancillary and enabling works, required to make the undersluices of the concrete dam at the Salal Power Station fully functional and operational. The contract has a duration of 27 months. The Salal Power Station is one of NHPC's key hydroelectric assets. The rehabilitation of its undersluices is expected to enhance the dam's operational efficiency, improve sediment management and further strengthen its long-term safety and reliability.

In addition, the company has constructed four projects, Uri-II (240 MW), Kishanganga (333 MW), Nimoo Bazgo (45 MW) and Chutak (44 MW)-representing a combined installed capacity of 1,352 MW, or approximately 38% of J&K's total installed hydropower capacity.
