MP govt releases Rs 500 crore to expedite land acquisition for stalled dam projects

Madhya Pradesh has released ₹500 crore to expedite land acquisition for three crucial Narmada river projects, previously stalled by compensation disputes in tribal areas. A special relief package, approved in December 2025, addresses these issues with enhanced compensation for land, homes, and assets. These dams promise significant water storage, irrigation for over 72,000 hectares, 125 MW of hydropower, and flood control benefits.
