† Per unit cost of electricity to be generated from Arun III would be one of the most expensive in the world in view of the very high cost of power production.

§ In 1992, Arun III has been listed as the 8th by the government out of 20 such projects on a priority basis, but no adequate consideration has been given to alternatives to Arun III at this time.
