Pakistan - Dasu Transmission Line Project
Pakistan plans to develop hydropower potential, with a focus on exploring the Indus River catchment. Dasu Hydropower Project (DHP) is in its most advanced stages of development, and the National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC) needs to provide the infrastructure to evacuate power generated by DHP and other downstream hydropower plants to be installed along the river Indus.
