Context
In September 2026, a major tunnel debris incident trapped six workers at the Chilime site, prompting large‑scale multinational rescue operations involving Nepali security forces, Indian teams, and international tunnel experts. The incident continues to dominate the company's narrative, with no new leadership changes or strategic deals reported. Recent recovery efforts have found the bodies of five workers, with one still missing, highlighting the severe impact of the Bhote Koshi-Trishuli flood on the project.
On September 17, the bodies of five Chilime hydropower workers recovered from the flooded tunnel were handed over to their families, marking a somber milestone in the rescue efforts. The Nepal Army had been assigned to the rescue operations after the tunnel was fully opened on September 16.
