Six States and Delhi Sign Agreement for Kishau Multipurpose Dam Project
Six states and the Union Territory of Delhi signed an agreement to implement the Kishau Multipurpose Project, a 232.6-metre-high dam on the Tons River, a Yamuna tributary, at an estimated cost of around Rs 15,000 crore. The project, supported by the central government bearing 90% of the cost, aims to provide irrigation for 97,000 hectares, generate 422-660 MW of hydropower, and improve water supply and environmental flow in the Yamuna. The agreement ended a decades-long deadlock, with leaders highlighting cooperative federalism and regional benefits, especially for Delhi and Himachal Pradesh.
