Ranjit Sagar Dam, Embankment dam in Pathankot and Kathua districts, India.
The Ranjit Sagar Dam spans across the Ravi River with a height of 160 meters and a length of 617 meters, creating a substantial water reservoir.
Construction of the dam began in 1981 after extensive feasibility studies from 1953, and the power generation units started operating in 2000.
The dam bears the name of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who established the Sikh Empire and shaped the region's historical development.
The facility generates 600 megawatts of hydroelectric power and provides irrigation water to agricultural lands in Punjab and surrounding regions.
