Pakal Dul Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Kishtwar District, India

The Pakal Dul Dam spans 305 meters across the Marusadar River, featuring a concrete-face rock-fill design with a height of 167 meters.

Construction of this major infrastructure project began in 2018 after receiving approval from a consortium of Indian and international engineering companies in 2014.

The location of the dam in Jammu and Kashmir represents the intersection of water resource management between India and neighboring countries in South Asia.

The power station includes four Francis turbines of 250 megawatts each, designed to generate 3,330 million units of electricity annually for northern India.

Two circular headrace tunnels, each measuring 9.6 kilometers in length and 7.2 meters in diameter, transfer water from the dam to the power generation facility.

Inception: 2018
