1. INTRODUCTION
CHAPTER – I
SUMMARY
Preliminary Feasibility Report
Basania HE Project 3 X 30 MW
The Basania Hydroelectric Project located in Mandla district of Madhya Pradesh
envisages utilization of the water of the river Narmada for power generation on a
storage type development, harnessing a net head of about 38 m.
The project with a proposed installation of 90 MW (3 x 30 MW) would afford an annual
energy generation of 240 MU in a 90% dependable year. The tariff from the project at
present day cost would be Rs. 15.88 (Levelised).
The diversion site is located at Latitude 22 0 42’ North, Longitude 80 0 30’17” East. The
dam site is approachable from Jabalpur – Mandla road at a distance of about 30 km
from Mandla (Distt. Head Quarters). The nearest rail head is located at Mandla town
and nearest airport is Jabalpur at a distance of about 140 km.
2. SCOPE OF WORKS
The Basania HE Project envisages construction of:
• 50m high composite storage dam across river Narmada to provide a live storage of
1219 M cum, with FRL at EL 482 M and MDDL at EL 471 M.
• 7.5 m dia steel pressure shaft trifurcating to 4.10 m penstocks near power house
• Dam toe surface power house having an installation of 3 Francis driven generating
units of 30 MW each operating under a net head of 38m, and
• 100m long open tail race channel to carry the power house releases back to the
river.
The power generated from the project would be evacuated through 132 kV double
circuit line and 132 kV single circuit line to existing Mandla sub station.
The Salient features of the project are given at Annexure 1.1 and a General layout
map at Plate – 6.3.
