Jaiprakash Power Ventures has resumed operations at 400 MW Vishnuprayag Hydro Electric Project in Uttarakhand on 11 March 2021. On 8 February 2021, Jaiprakash Power Ventures declared a force majeure event leading to the closure of its power generation at the company's 400 MW (mega-watt) Vishnuprayag Hydro Electric Project (HEP) due to river water gushing into the Tail Race Tunnel of the project due to the unfortunate tragedy in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. Disaster struck Uttarakhand's Chamoli district on 7 February 2021 in the form of an avalanche and deluge, after a portion of the Nanda Devi glacier broke off. The sudden flood triggered large-scale devastation in the high mountain areas.
