- The 55.5-metre-high dam is part of the Shahpurkandi multipurpose river valley project.
- It also comprises two hydropower plants with an installed capacity of 206 MW.
- The project, being implemented by Punjab, will help minimise some of the water of Ravi.
- Ravi is one of the three eastern rivers of the Indus River system and its water — under the Indus Water Treaty — falls in India’s share.
- Shahpurkandi dam is located 11 km downstream of Ranjit Sagar dam on river Ravi and 8 km upstream of Madhopur barrage.
- It will help India better utilise the Ravi waters.
