BBMB plans 1,500 MW project near Bhakra Dam
The Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) has proposed a 1,500 megawatt (MW) pumped storage project as an extension of Bhakra Dam at Dobar village, 5 km upstream from the existing dam site.
The ₹6,500-crore project is to be built under the public-private partnership (PPP) mode on build-own-operate basis. The BBMB has conducted surveys and identified four such sites over the dam reservoir.
