The Shahpur Kandi Dam, an inter-state project, was approved by the Central Government as a ‘national pro- ject’ in February 2008 at a cost of Rs 2,285.81 crore, including the irrigation component of Rs 653.97 crore. “Though the work on the project started in 2013, it was halted in 2014 due to certain observations raised by the J&K government. In the meantime, cost estimate has been revised to Rs 2,793.54 crore and Punjab Government has requested the Centre for inclusion of the pro- ject in the prioritized list of Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) or Accelerated Irrigation Benefit (AIBP) Projects,” said Kangar. He said that the Shahpur Kandi Power Plant project is as vital as Bhakra Dam Project and Ranjit Sagar Dam Project are to the state. “It will provide bal- ancing reservoir to enable the upstream Ranjit Sagar Dam Project power station to act as a peaking station, besides having its own generation capacity of 206 MW and irrigation benefit of 37,173-hectare Cultivable Command Area to Punjab and J&K states. It will enable the country to fully utilize the Ravi water as per the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan,” he said. Presently, though installed capacity of Ranjit Sagar Dam is 600 MW (4X150 MW), but at maximum, only 300 MW is generated as the canal system of UBDC project cannot han- dle more flow and the more than 300 MW water goes waste to Pakistan. “With the con- struction of Shahpur Kandi Dam, a gross storage capacity of 12,071 hectare meter would be provided, and it would be possible to run all four machines of Ranjit Sagar Dam’s unit at 600 MW for about eight hours without letting any water downstream Shahpur Kandi dam,” he said.
