This micro-irrigation system is set to cover an irrigable command area of 17,587 hectares, boosting agricultural productivity in the region.

Director of Hydro & Underground, Water Supply at Afcons Infrastructure, Satish Paretkar, stated, “This project is a testament to our commitment to nation-building and sustainable infrastructure development. By integrating hydropower generation with a modern irrigation network, the project will not only enhance agricultural productivity but also contribute to clean energy generation. It will have significant positive impact on communities in Madhya Pradesh.”
