Parbati - II Project
Introduction

The Parbati Hydroelectric Project (Stage-II) is a run-of-the-river scheme proposed to harness hydro
potential of the lower reaches of the river Parbati, The proposed scheme is 'inter basin transfer' type.
The river is proposed to be diverted at Village Pulga in Parbati valley and the Power House shall be
located at village Suind in Sainj valley. Thus a gross head of 862m between Pulga and Suind will be
utilized for generating 800MW power. The diverted discharge of the river Parbati has been further
augmented by diverting the discharge of various nallahs falling along the HRT alignment.
