Kishtwar, 75 km along with distance in kms Details of alternative sites examined The evolution of the Kirthai HEP started with the CEA No shown on a toposheet identifying a diversion site with river bed El 1722 masl for diverting Chenab water by means of 11 km long HRT to a power house (1120 MW) to utilize a gross head of 275 m. subsequently a storage scheme with a storage of 0.6 MAF, comprising of 220 m high dam at Kirthai, 8.14 km long HRT to un underground powerhouse (750 MW) near Lidrari Nallah, was conceived. However, to avoid submergence of the vast fertile area in the Padder valley and consequent displacement of a large population, the scheme underwent drastic evolutionary change as it was split 20. into two parts. Investigations at three potential sites for the upper stage culminated in the preparation of a DPR in respect of a 160 m high concrete dam across Chenab just u/s of Gulabgarh resulting into a reservoir with FRL & MDDL at 1895 masl and 1887.58 masl respectively and an underground power house (4 X 60 MW) about 150m d/s of dam axis which was later during 2012-13 modified into 4 X 95MW and an auxiliary power house (10 MW), due to increased water availability in 90% dependable year based on updated water flow series upto 2009-10 21.
