Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited (TNGECL) has applied for environmental clearance for a 1,000 MW pumped storage project at Vellimalai in Kanyakumari, aimed at improving peak power management and renewable energy integration. The project, costing Rs 5,624 crore, will consist of four 250 MW units and involve the construction of two off-river reservoirs, requiring approximately 159 hectares of land, including forest area, and clearance from the National Board for Wildlife due to its eco-sensitive location.
