Project Description: Budhigandaki (PRoR) Hydropwoer Project is of installed capacity 341 MW located in Gorkha district of Gandaki Province, Nepal having design discharge of 100.27 m3/s. The project is Peaking Run-of-the-River scheme having concrete gravity dam of length 52 m and height 38m. The water is guided through HRT of 7.2m diameter of total length 7.34 km to underground powerhouse of size 110m X 17m X 37m with net head of 388m. 220 kV Double Circuit Transmission line of length 10 km evacuates the generated energy to the nearest sub-station located in Gumda sub-station.
