The state government has now taken an initiative to resume power generation at the project. It is expected that the project will be able to generate between 12 and 15 megawatts of electricity in the coming days.
Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath address while inaugurating a one-day awareness programme on dam safety at Tirthamukh on Friday (9th October, 2026). The programme was organised by Tripura Power Generation Limited with technical support from the National Dam Safety Authority.
