AFTER putting the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) in abeyance, the government is considering three new hydropower projects on the Indus River Basin besides fast-tracking two other projects.

  • INCLUDES 3 NEW HYDRO PROJECTS

  • CONVERTING RUN-OF-RIVER PROJECTS INTO STORAGE STRUCTURES

Additionally, discussions are underway among top officials to convert the existing run-of-river hydro projects into storage projects.

The treaty signed in 1960 restricts India's usage of the western riversIndus, Jhelum, and Chenab to benefit Pakistan.

Ever since, Pakistan has been stalling Indian proposals to construct hydropower plants on the three rivers under various pretexts.
