Koyna Hydroelectric Project
The Koyna Hydroelectric Project is a major hydroelectric power station located in the Koyna River valley of Maharashtra, India. It has a total installed capacity of 1,960 megawatts, making it one of the largest hydroelectric projects in the country. The project consists of four powerhouses, with the first unit commissioned in 1960.
