India is set to launch two hydropower projects in Jammu and Kashmir for the first time since placing the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan in abeyance in April 2025, marking a fresh step in its efforts to expand hydropower generation on the Chenab river.

The two projects are the 1,000-megawatt Pakal Dul and 624-megawatt Kiru hydropower plants, both located in the Chenab river basin. Their commissioning process has begun, with the projects expected to become operational in the coming months.

Both projects are being developed by Chenab Valley Power Projects Limited, a joint venture between India's National Hydroelectric Power Corporation and Jammu and Kashmir State Power Development Corporation.

India has also accelerated work on other hydropower projects in the Chenab basin, including the 540MW Kwar and 850MW Ratle projects.
