The 180 MW Run of the River’ project is located on the River Ravi in the Chamba District of the state. The project envisages the construction of a 66 m high concrete gravity dam near Bajoli village, approximately 950 m downstream of the confluence of Channi nallah and the river Ravi. This proposal would generate 762.98 Gwh in 90% dependable year. Baioli Holi Proiect, District Chamba, Himachal Pradesh - Annual compliance report of diversion of forest land (75.304 Ha) - December 13, 2016 View PDF Annual Return Annual Return (2021-22) GBHHPL View PDF Glacial lake GL52 is located about 26.48 km upstream of the dam site of Bajoli Holi HEP. For the GLOF study, the 27.86 km reach of the River from the GL52 up to 1.38 km downstream of the Bajoli Holi HEP site has been represented in the MIKE-11model set up by river cross sections at an interval of approximately 400 m. The Bajoli-Holi hydropower project has heavily impacted the Gaddi community and the region’s ecology. Water leakage from the dam has made cracks in the blocks of sedimentary rocks as the Bajoli-Holi HEP is 180 MW run-of-the-river power facility being constructed on the River Ravi in the Chamba district of the state Himachal Pradesh, India. The project consists of a 66 m high concrete gravity dam near Bajoli village, surface powerhouse, power intake structure, two inlet tunnels, two underground desanding chambers, headrace Pathankot via NH-20. The proposed diversion site is located between Bajoli and Nayagram villages and is about 15 km upstream of Holi. The surface power house site is located near Kee Nallah village, which is about 2 km downstream of Holi village. The project proposes to construct concrete dam about 66m high, 15.5 km long The Run-Off-River (ROR) project envisages the construction of a 66m-high concrete gravity dam near Bajoli village, approximately 950 m downstream of the confluence of Channi nallah and the river Ravi. The diverted water shall be carried through a water conductor system planned on the left bank of Ravi to a surface powerhouse. Bajoli Holi hydroelectric plant is an operating hydroelectric power plant in Chamba District, Himachal Pradesh, India. Project Details Table 1: Project details for Bajoli Holi hydroelectric plant The Bajoli Holi Project was awarded in March 2015. GE Hydro Solutions was responsible for design and engineering, supply, transportation, erection, testing and commissioning of vertical Francis turbines, generators, penstock valve, Main Inlet Valve, digital governing system, excitation system, control and monitoring, protection system The project consists of a 66 m high concrete gravity dam. The hydropower project has been awarded to GMR Hydro Power by the Indian Government on a Build-Own- Operate-Transfer (BOOT) basis for 40 years from the date of commissioning. The Bajoli-Holi hydropower project has heavily impacted the Gaddi community and the region’s ecology. About This document provides background information on hydropower development in the Ravi river basin of Himachal Pradesh, India. It states that the identified hydropower potential is 2323.02 MW. Several projects are currently operational or under construction, including the 198 MW Baira Suil HEP and 540 MW Chamera Stage-I project. The 180 MW Bajoli Holi HEP is proposed as an upstream development on The proposed Bajoli Holi Hydroelectric Project is one such scheme identified in Ravi Basin in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh State. Bajoli Holi Hydroelectric Project is a run of the river scheme that envisages the construction of a 30 m high diversion barrage across the river Ravi, 200 m downstream of its confluence with Channi nallah A film celebrating the Bajoli Holi Power Project in the Himalayan foothills of Himachal Pradesh Bajoli-Holi dam To estimate the inflow design flood of the Bajoli-Holi dam using the Hydro- meteorological method and to extend the results to similar projects leading to better practices Photos are captured by the author in various visits to the Indian Himalayas from 2018-2022.

Nestled in the scenic Chamba Valley of Himachal Pradesh, Ten years ago, as the proposal for the 180-MW Bajoli Holi hydroelectric project was being laid out, the local Gaddi populace had warned of impending risks considering the region’s loose rocks. Local women organised a month-long sit-in at a spot in an oak forest that is today on the cusp of sliding down. They demanded that the project tunnel The Bajoli-Holi hydropower project in Himachal Pradesh has impacted the local ecology and the life of Gaddi tribe. Almost eight years ago, on March 25, 2014, at least 31 women from Jharauta village in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh were arrested for protesting against the commencement of the work for the 180 megawatts (MW) Bajoli-Holi The inflow design flood estimation of the Bajoli-Holi dam using the hydro-meteorological method is essential for ensuring the dam's safety. The results of this estimation will be used to develop better practices for similar projects in hydro-meteorologically similar catchments, especially in the Himalayas. the head available between Bajoli and Holi villages upstream of the under investigation Kutehr H.E. (240 MW) project and is accessible via Chamba‐Holi road. The proposed diversion site is located between Bajoli and Nayagram villages and is about 15 km upstream of Holi, a large village in the area.
