Subsequent numerous controversial instances ahead of the Great Judge of India (1999, 2000, 2003), by 2014 the Narmada Get a grip on Power had accepted some improvements in the last height – and the related displacement brought on by the improved tank, from the first 80 michael (260 ft) to one last 163 michael (535 ft) from foundation.The task may irrigate a lot more than 18,000 km² (6,900 sq mi), nearly all of it in famine vulnerable aspects of Kutch and Saurashtra.
  • The dam's major energy seed properties six 200 MW Francis pump-turbines to produce energy and add a pumped-storage capability. Moreover, an electrical seed on the consumption for the key canal includes five 50 MW Kaplan generator-generators. The sum total fitted volume of the energy services is 1,450 MW.
