Omkareshwar Project

Omkareshwar Power Station is a multipurpose project, which offers opportunity of power generation & irrigation on both the banks of river Narmada in districts Khandwa, Khargone & Dhar of Madhya Pradesh. The project is situated 80 km from Indore and 40 km down stream of Indira Sagar Project. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) sanctioned the Project with an estimated cost of Rs.2224.73 Crores (Nov. 2002 Price Level) and total gestation period of 5 years. Omkareswar project was cleared by CCEA on 29.03.2003.

The foundation stone of this project was laid by the then hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee on 30.08.2003 .Total installed capacity of the Omkareswar Project is 520 Megawatt (8x65). The project will generate 1167 Million Units energy, annually. Total catchments area at the proposed dame site is 64880 Sq. km, out of which 3238 Sq. is Downstream of Indira Sagar Power Station. The Project consists of 949 m long Concrete Gravity Dam with maximum height of 53 m from the deepest bed level across the river Narmada. A Central Ogee-type spillway 570 m long with crest level EL 179.6 m has been provided to pass the Probable Maximum Flood of 882315 cumecs. . The surface Power House (202m x 23m x 53m) of the Project is within the body of Dam on the right bank of Narmada consisting of 8 Units of 65 MW capacity each with conventional Francis Type Turbines. Water is carried to the Turbines through 8 no. Penstocks of 7.66 m diameter each. After generation water is discharged back in the river through 145 m long Tail Race Channel

Indra Sagar Project

Indira Sagar Power Station is situated at 10 Km from the village Punasa in Khandwa District of Madhya Pradesh. The foundation stone of this project was laid by the then Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Late Smt. Indira Gandhi on 23.10.1984. It is a multipurpose project on the river Narmada with installed capacity of 1000 Megawatt (8X125). It will generate 2698 MUs energy, annually. The project will irrigate 2.70 lakh ha land annually. As per CCEA sanction the project cost is Rs. 4355.57 Crores (Sept. 2000 Price Level). The project consists of Concrete gravity dam of length 653 meter at top with maximum height (above deepest foundation level) of 92 meter.

The surface Power House is situated on the right bank of the river, with Machine hall (202 meter long, 23 meter wide, 53 meter high), service bay (42 meter long, 23 meter wide, 24 meter high) and transformer yard (202 meter long, 20 meter wide) to house 8 Nos. Francis type turbines of 125 MW each. The water conductor system consists of one Head Race Channel of length 530 meter, width 75 meter and depth 50 meter with water carrying capacity of 2200 cumecs. Water enter into turbine fron intake structure by 8 Nos. Penstock of 8 meter diameter and 157 meter length each. Water flow capacity of each Penstock is 275 cumecs. After power generation water is discharged back into river Narmada through 850 m long Tail Race Channel

Large Area

High Construction Cost

Long Erection Time

Submerges Huge Areas & Creates Social and Other Problems

Problem involving in Macro hydro power projects

No submergence No need of Environmental clearance As generation capacity less than 25 Mw so no

need of clearance from CEA (Central Electricity Authority)

Small period of commissioning the project Less capital outlay Less running & maintenance cost

Advantages of Small Hydropower Scheme

Basin No. of Sites Available

Installed Capacity in KW

Dependable Energy (GWh)
