Koteshwar Dam, Gravity dam on Bhagirathi River in Tehri District, Uttarakhand, India
The Koteshwar Dam extends 300 meters in length and rises 97.5 meters high, creating a reservoir with a surface area of 29 square kilometers.
Construction of the dam began after project approval in 2000, with the first two generators becoming operational in March 2011 despite flooding challenges in 2010.
The dam stands on the Bhagirathi River, which flows from Gaumukh Glacier and joins Alaknanda at Devprayag to form the sacred Ganga River.
The facility regulates water flow from Tehri Dam while providing irrigation support and generating 400 megawatts of power through four 100-megawatt generators.
The dam's spillway system features four radial gates measuring 18 meters wide and 16 meters tall, capable of discharging 13,240 cubic meters per second.
