<p>Integrated Kashang HEP (IKHEP) envisages development of Kashang and Kerang Streams, tributaries of the river Sutlej comprising four distinct stages as under:</p><p><strong>Stage-I (65 MW):</strong></p><p>Comprising diversion of the Kashang stream, at El.2829 m, to an underground powerhouse located on the right bank of Satluj near Powari Village, developing a head of approximately 830 m. On 01.09.2016, IKHEP’s one unit of 65 MW has been successfully commissioned.</p><p><strong>Stage-II &amp; III (130 MW):</strong></p><p>Comprising diversion of the Kerang stream, at El. 2872 m, into an underground water conductor system leading to upstream end of Stage-I water conductor system, augmenting the generating capacity of Stage-I powerhouse, using Kerang waters over the 820 m head available in Kashang Stage-I powerhouse.</p><p><strong>Stage-IV (48 MW):</strong></p><p>This stage is more or less independent scheme harnessing the power potential of Kerang stream upstream of the diversion site of Stage-II. In this scheme, a head of approximately 300 m could be utilized to develop power in an underground powerhouse located on the right bank of Kerang stream.</p>
