Maneri Bhali Stage-II (4x76 MW)

Maneri Bhali Hydroelectric Project Stage-II envisaged the utilization of the 285 m drop available in river Bhagirathi between the tail waters of Tiloth Power Station (Maneri Bhali Stage-I Project) and the head waters of Tehri Dam. The diversion structure is situated near the township of Uttarkashi at about 152 km from Rishikesh, the nearest railhead, and is designed to divert 142 cumecs of water into a head race tunnel of diameter 6.0 m and length 16 km to generate 1566 Million Units of electricity annually through a power house of 4x76 MW at Dharasu. This project has been commissioned in 2008 & is the second power project of UJVNL on river Bhagirathi.

River Bhagirathi a major tributary to River Ganga originates from Gangotri in the glacial Himalayas and meets river Alaknanda at Deoprayag to form Ganga which ultimately meets the ocean in the Bay of Bengal.
