Where the Tapovan and Vishnugarh Hydroelectric Projects located?

The Tapovan–Vishnugad (sometimes spelled Vishnugadh/Vishnugarh) hydroelectric project is sited in the Uttarakhand Himalaya, on the Dhauliganga River in Chamoli district. The Ministry of Environment press release explicitly describes the Tapovan-Vishnugad Hydroelectric Power Project as an under-construction project on the Dhauliganga River in Chamoli, Uttarakhand [1]. Independent trackers and energy reports place the plant in Joshimath tehsil of Chamoli district and describe it as part of the Uttarakhand hydroelectric programme in the Alaknanda/Dhauliganga basin. Detailed project analyses and local reporting also document the same Chamoli (Uttarakhand) location and discuss project impacts in the Joshimath/Chamoli area.
