Nathpa Jhakri Dam, Gravity dam in Kinnaur district, India.
The Nathpa Jhakri Dam stretches across the Sutlej River with a height of 67.5 meters, forming a concrete barrier in Himachal Pradesh mountains.
Construction of this power generation facility occurred between 1993 and 2004, culminating in an inauguration by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2005.
The dam serves multiple North Indian states including Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand, connecting different regional communities through power distribution.
With four water intakes and a 301-meter-deep surge shaft, the facility generates 1500 megawatts of electricity, supplying power to millions of households.
The project features India's longest water tunnel, measuring 27 kilometers in length with an 8.5-meter diameter through mountain terrain.
