Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The project site is about 39 km (24 mi) north of Dakpathar and upstream of the Ichari Dam
. The primary purpose of the dam is power generation and downstream water supply. It will support a 660 MW power station and provide water for the irrigation of 97,076 hectares (239,880 acres) of crops.
After years of negotiations over water-sharing between the two states, the dam is currently awaiting clearance from the
Ministry of Environment and Forests. Construction was originally expected to begin in 2015.[1] Approval was granted in 2018.[2] Completion is slated for 2023.[3]
