Dams Under Construction- News and Updates...

[Syed1.]

No sir. The wapda is doing it with its own resources.
Look last year concepts, planning, design started and it is due by this July September and this is the time when work would start. They would raise the money from the from their funds. Wapda is now eligible to offer gree bonds and other stuff to raise money.

That's great to hear... Can you provide sources I'd love to read up more on Wapda. I think in recent years we are seeing the same Wapda that was there in the 1960s long may it continue inshallah

a feasibility study is a time-consuming practice where everything is tested and multiple designs are made..
this would take even a fast pace 2-3 years

the reasons why no dams were built in mushi era even though he was passionate about it..
in his era almost all feasibilities were conducted ..

WAPDA recently went to international crediting agencies..and got credit rating..it has massive assets in its name..tarbela, Mangla, ghazi brotha & NJ are easily worth 20b+..it has 7-8 other dams/plants to

so it can easily secure financing provided the govt just backs it up with grantees(as its govt entity). why wasnt this done..
well for one IMF will object to it for now, as IMF doesnt trust govt, previously other institutes money was eaten up by federal govt(like sui utilites rose money, PSO rose money..>eaten by federal govt)..
second--incompetence

hopefully, this wont happen in future..

once dam is built.. the electrical part will be easy to build as you will see offers by themselves..as you saw in tarbela Extention where countries like austria, china, italy are all read to provide 100% financing for lucrative deals

There are 5 dams on jehlum cascade.
Gulpur, karot, kohala patan and I don't remember the name of one.
We are making Gulpur. Yes. Few years back we are working on kohala with China but then instead we start karot hydropower which is much bigger. Kohala is also in works and would be lauched soon.
Yesterday I saw an Indian wrote an article about how local kashmiris are not letting pakistani state make kohala dam.
I said w t f. There was no person living in that place. This is the kind of the information war fare and misinformation they are spreading.
Kohala was very much in works but karot a much bigger dam was prefered but that doesn't mean kohala was abandoned.

India opposes Pakistan-China move to build major dam in Gilgit-Baltistan

India on Thursday opposed a move by Pakistan and China to build a major hydropower plant in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, saying it has shared its concerns regarding such projects with both countries.

The Pakistan government on Wednesday signed a Rs 442-billion contract with a joint venture formed by China Power and the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO), a commercial arm of the Pakistani military, for constructing the Diamer-Bhasha dam.

The state-run Chinese firm has a 70% stake in the joint venture and FWO 30%. The eight million acre feet reservoir with a height of 272 metres is set to be the world’s tallest roller compact concrete (RCC) dam. Construction work on the dam is expected to begin in a couple of weeks, the Pakistani media reported.

Responding to the development, external affairs ministry spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said the Gilgit-Baltistan region is part of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir that was illegally occupied by Pakistan.


“Our position is consistent and clear that the entire territory of the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh have been, are, and will continue to be an integral and inalienable part of India,” Srivastava said.

“We have consistently conveyed our protest and shared concerns with both China and Pakistan on all such projects in the Indian territories under Pakistan’s illegal occupation,” he said.

In the past too, India has opposed projects jointly taken up by Pakistan and China in Azad Kashmir as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
