JHELUM RIVER | Karot Hydropower Project | 720 MW | U/C

The major project features include construction of concrete gravity 91 meters high dam with a crest length of 320 meters near the village of Gohra. The dam's reservoir will be approximately 152 million cubic meters in volume, with a length of 27 kilometers. 72 homes and 58 businesses are expected to require relocation as a result of construction,[8] while 2.8 kilometers of the Karot-Kotli road, and 8.9 kilometers of the Azad Pattan-Kahuta road will need relocation.
