MANSEHRA, Feb. 1 (Gwadar Pro) – In yet another achievement at Suki Kinari Hydropower Project (SKHPP), the rotor of unit 2 was successfully hoisted on Tuesday.

The total weight of the rotor is about 406 tons, which is the heaviest hoisting component in the electro–mechanical equipment of the entire unit. It is pertinent to mention here that the 922.7 m head of SKHPP is the highest in the country.
