History A memorandum of understanding was signed between the Mizoram Government and Shyam Century Ferrous on 10 August 2012.
In 2014 the Union Ministry of Water Resources provided the Central Water Commission with Rs 11.55 crore to survey and investigate the hydro-electrical project. This work then started in February 2015.
