Question map
The Dul Hasti Power Station is based on which one of the following rivers ?
Explanation
Dul Hasti (Dulhasti) Power Station is sited on the Chenab River. Official project documentation for Dulhasti Stage‑I/II identifies the dam and associated run‑of‑the‑river scheme as being located across the Chenab in Kishtwar district of Jammu & Kashmir [1]. NHPC project descriptions and plant summaries further record Dulhasti as a run‑of‑the‑river/pondage hydropower plant with an installed capacity of 390 MW (3×130 MW), explicitly developed to harness the flow of the Chenab, confirming the river on which the plant is constructed. Hence, of the options given, Chenab is the correct choice.
