Punjab, UT-Chandigarh, Haryana, Rajasthan,
Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal). The
state of Uttaranchal has refused to purchase
any power from the Nathpa Jhakri Project.
However, the state of the Uttar Pradesh is not
responsive to the communications, written as
well as telephonic discussions with them
regarding signing of the Power Purchase
Agreement in addition to the discussions held
with them in various NREB meetings. However,
states of Punjab, Rajasthan and Delhi have
requested for additional allocation of power to
the tune of 486 MW, 100 MW & 158 MW
respectively, besides state of Haryana also
requesting for allocation of additional power.

region by way of increase in agriculture and
indus-trial production. In addition, the project has
provided gainful employment to a large number
of skilled and unskilled workers and has also
opened the landlocked hinterland by providing
essential facilities such as schools, hospitals
etc. for the people of the area. Thus, NJHEP
envisages the social and economic upliftment of
the persons living in the vicinity of the Project
