The ADHPL Project is located at village Prini, Tehsil Manali, District Kullu a distance of 60 kms from Bhuntar airport, Kullu. It
is 500 km away from Delhi by road. The project utilises water from the
Hamtal and Pataori Himalayan streams, which form the Allain river, and from the
the Chandar Tal glacier-fed Duhangan river. Water is transferred
from separate intakes and underground headrace tunnels into a common
intermediate reservoir before being discharged through a steel/concrete lined
pressure shaft into the underground powerhouse at Prini village which is
located near Manali town. Power is transmitted to the national grid connection
point located at Nalagarh via a high voltage 175 KM long 220 KV transmission
line built by the company.
The ADHPL is helping to meet the shortage of power in the Northern region of
India, presently estimated at some 1500 MW. The plant is operated as a peaking
plant from November to May and as a base load plant during the summer and rainy
season from June to October. During the peaking season, the plant operates
about 4 hours per day.
