The company says all recommendations of committees have been incorporated in the design and construction of the 2,000 MW Subansiri Lower Hydroelectric Project on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border.
The Baihetan Dam on the Jinsha River, a tributary of the Yangtze, is part of Chinese efforts to curb surging fossil fuel demand by building more hydropower capacity at a time when dams have fallen out of favor in other countries due to environmental complaints.
The agreement on Myitsone Dam project came during talks between Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Myanmar's State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, who started a five-day official visit to China.
China's environment ministry has given the go-ahead for the construction of tallest hydroelectric dam but the project still requires the formal go-ahead from the State Council, China's cabinet.
