Bhadbhut barrage

The barrage extends 1.663 kilometers across the Narmada River, incorporating 90 gates to regulate water flow and manage downstream conditions.

The construction of this water management infrastructure began in August 2020 with a planned completion date of 2025 and a budget of 4,167 crore rupees.

Local farming communities along the Narmada River maintain traditional agricultural practices while adapting to modern water management systems provided by the barrage.

The structure prevents saltwater intrusion from the Arabian Sea into the Narmada River while ensuring consistent water supply for irrigation in surrounding agricultural areas.

The barrage includes a six-lane bridge connecting Dahej and Hazira industrial zones, reducing travel distance between these economic centers by 110 kilometers.
