Ghatghar Dam, Gravity dam in Ahmednagar district, Maharashtra, India
The Ghatghar complex includes two gravity dams creating upper and lower reservoirs, with the lower dam reaching 86 meters in height and the upper dam measuring 15 meters.
Construction of the Ghatghar dam complex began in 1995, with the dams completed by 2006 and the power station commissioned in 2008, introducing roller-compacted concrete technology to India.
The Ghatghar dams contribute to Maharashtra's infrastructure development by managing water resources from the Godavari River basin and supporting local agricultural communities.
The power station operates two 125-megawatt reversible Francis turbine-generators that produce electricity during peak hours and pump water back during low demand periods.
This hydroelectric system diverts water from the Godavari River basin outside its natural area to a west-flowing river in the Western Ghats through its dual-reservoir design.
