India’s largest hydroelectric plant, the Nathpa Jhakri project shut down due to heavy rain

Written By Unknown on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 | 12:05 AM

Operations at the 1,500MW Nathpa Jhakri project in Himachal Pradesh, India’s largest hydroelectric plant, have been affected due to high silt content in the turgid and fast-moving Sutlej river.

SJVN Ltd’s Nathpa Jhakri project is a joint venture between the Union and Himachal Pradesh governments.

The 1,000-MW Karchham Wantoo project has also been shut due to heavy silt in Sutlej. These projects feed the northern grid.
