Centre Agrees Beneficiary States to Bear Kishau Project Power Costs, Himachal Gets Revenue
The Centre has agreed that Himachal Pradesh will not bear any financial burden for the Kishau Multipurpose Project on the Himachal-Uttarakhand border. Following a meeting chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, it was decided that beneficiary states Delhi, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Punjab will cover the estimated Rs 2,000 crore power generation cost, while Uttarakhand will fund its share. Himachal Pradesh will receive annual revenue from the project without investment, marking a resolution after an eight-year delay.
