PROJECT PROFILE

Shahpurkandi Dam Project comprising of 55.5 high concrete Dam, 7.70 Km long Hydel Channel, 2 No. Head Regulators and 2 No Power Houses i.e. PH-I (3 x 33 MW) & PH-II (3 x 33 MW + 1 x 8 MW) i.e. 206 MW is being constructed on River Ravi to provide a balancing reservoir to have uniform water releases for Upper Bari Doab Canal, Kashmir canal off taking from Madhopur Head Works and high level Ravi Canal (J&K) which will off take from right side of Shahpurkandi Dam Project and to ensure optimum power generation during peaking hours from Ranjit Sagar Dam Project. J&K will get 20% of power generated at bus bar rates.

"NATIONAL PROJECT"

Shahpurkandi Dam Project has been declared as ‘National Project’ by Ministry of Water Resources Govt. of India during February 2008. CWC/CEA had approved the revised cost of the project at Feb., 2018 Price Level as Rs.2715.70 Cr. (excluding IDC charges amounting to Rs. 429.81 Cr.). Govt. of Punjab vide its letter dated 21.08.2018 has concurred the cost apportionment as 71.39 % for Power Component & 28.61 % for Irrigation Component. Accordingly, the cost of Power Component works out to be Rs. 1938.74 Cr. & cost of Irrigation Component works out to be Rs. 776.96 Cr. For this, PSPCL has infused equity @20% i.e. 473.71 Cr. & for the remaining 80% amounting to Rs.1894.84 cr. has tied up for the loan with PFC. The necessary documents /undertakings have also been jointly signed by PSPCL & PFC. Based on the project cost of power component i.e. Rs. 2368.55 Cr, CEA has approved the levelised tariff as Rs. 4.44/kWH.
