The project is expected to start electricity generation in the second half of 2024, while all six units of the Stage-I, with cumulative generation capacity of 2160MW, will be completed by early 2025.

Dasu Hydropower Project is being constructed on the River Indus upstream of Dasu town. WAPDA is implementing the project in two stages – each stage having a generation capacity of 2160MW.

On completion, Stage-I of the project will contribute more than 12 billion units of electricity per annum to the National Grid. The Stage-II, after its completion, will also provide another 9 billion units to the system every year.

Thank you Imran Khan. A leader thinks about the nation's future and not about the next elections.


All these dams started by IK will end after the 2023 elections. It didn't bother him that he may or may not be in power when they are completed. Atleast nation would benefit.

Wish we had more leaders like him.

Two Diversion Tunnels named as Diversion Tunnel A (L=1.5 KM) & Diversion Tunnel B (L=1.3 KM), as shown in the pictures, are being constructed at 4320 MW #Dasu Hydropower Project by using Drill & Blast method in 4 lifts (layers) of different heights.

Excavation section of the diversion tunnel is adopted a “D” section. The dimensions of excavation section are 24.6m×27.3m at inlets & outlets while 20.4m×24.2m in main underground Tunnels. To avoid flood during flood season and safe construction, gravity concrete dyke in diversion tunnel inlet and outlet was constructed.

The main underground excavation of the tunnel is divided into four layers. The excavation height of the layer I is 8.2m, the height of the layer II is 5m, and the excavation height of the layer III is 8.0m, the height of the layer IV is 3.0m.
