Key Points

Sardar Sarovar Project:

  • The Sardar Sarovar Project (SSP) is a gravity dam on the Narmada River crossing Gujarat in India. 
  • The project comprises 30 Major Dams, 135 Medium Dams, and about 3,000 Minor Dams along the 1,312 km length. 
  • It is a concrete gravity dam across river Narmada, 1210 meters (3970 feet) in length and with a maximum height of 163 meters above the deepest foundation level.
  • The project took form in 1979 as part of a development scheme to increase irrigation and produce hydroelectricity.
  • The hydroelectric power of the SSP is to be shared by the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh.
  • The irrigation benefits would accrue to the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan.
