(169 TMC)
(new 18.25 lakh & 18.75 existing agricultural acres)
Kaleshwaram project Total water Capacity TMC*
Production:
Total 240 TMC (195 TMC from medigadda + 20 TMC from Yellampalli Old + 25 TMC from groundwater surgepools)
Consumption:
169 TMC for direct 18.25 lakh acres & present 18.82 lakh acres (by ayacut stability). To 36lakh acres.
10 TMC encountered villages drinking water
30 TMC : hyderabad drinking water
16 TMC: Industrial water
15 TMC: evaporation
169+10+30+16= 255 – 15 240 TMC
240/12 = 20TMC monthly

Kaleshwaram Project Power consumption with Price
as per Total Power requirement for the Project is 4628 MW or 46,28,000 kwH or unit/hr
overall energy required for the Project is 13558 MU (Million Units) or 1,35,58,000 kwh /units
13558000*6= 8,13,48,000 (8 cr 13 lakhs but 2020 bill 10K cr bill)
Cusec to TMC How many litres for TMC
Kaleshwaram Project 1 Litre cost
Kaleshwaram to Hyderabad Water Supply Cost
Kaleshwaram water cost for Agriculture rice crop 1 Acre
How many Litre waters required for 1 lakh acre & 36 lakh acre?
How many Acres irrigated with 1 TMC water under kaleshwaram?
17.6TMC for 1 lakh acre
as above for 1 Acre we have divide
100000/17.6=5,681 or 6000 Acre of Paddy
Cotton Crop : 12 Acres
1 TMC = 6000
169 TMC = 169*6000 = (10,14000)
169*5681= 9,60,089 (Lets figure it for 10 lakhs acre then how govt decided 18.25+18.75acre total 37 and 40 lakhs acres)
1 Acre paddy Yield in telangana / india Avg
Paddy to rice business 30-50% Margin
assume 500 litres per 1 rupee based HyD TMC / calculation
2nd lift or lifting 2nd leads double cost for far plug areas
Kaleshwaram water cost for Cotton crop 1 Acre
TS Transco CMD asked NTPC to give 2000MW (july to november for Kaleshwaram project)
past 58 years AP & ts max at 13152MW
but now ts alone reached 13,168Mw demand
budget 2020: 10,146 crore allocated (5984 and 4,162 cr due as on date
16,300 MW installed
demand 7800 -8000MW
2000MW from solar
expected load when K prokect comes is 13000MW
(the power required to fill the 1700cr
for 15 TMC.)
2012 power purchase agreement (PPA) between solargen companies & tstransco
amount of Rs 5.17 and Rs 6.90 per unit, but its due 2000cr as june 2 2019.
lets calculate per as low as 5 rupee
13558 Million Units * 5
67790 Million Rupees (1M= 10 lakhs, 1B= 100cr 1T =1 lakh crore)
67.790 Billion or 6,700 cr
kandipalli pump house

kannepalli pum house 1.96 cr units * 6 = 12.24 cr
1 unit = 6INR

Kaleshwaram DPR wapcos report 2017
1 rupee investment = 1.5 rupees income
annual bill 4000cr
maintenance 100 cr
// 10,000cr inn 2020, maintenance 600 cr may go upto 1000 cr)
Prof. Nageshwar Rao source mahanews
10k cr electricity bill
38.9 lakhs acres water
direct 18 lakhs aayacut 18.85
100B/40M= (10 thousand cr / 40 Lakh acres)
100000000000/4000000= 25000 (per acre) (direct water 18 lakhs 50,000 Acre)
(as of may 2020 state govt cleared 10k cr for this year, but project not fully operated)
Kaleshwaram Project Cost Reduction Strategies
- Buying Power from NTPC Instead of Private Solar Panel Companies (3000MW)
- low water intensive crops
- as per govt 10k cr investment /year 1lah cr value crop and wapcos 2017 report 1 rupee investment 1.5 return for agri
- Solar Power Plants by Government
- Artificial Gravity Canals
- Utilizing water carefully
- *Nominal Charges from farmers** (who knows)
- kaleshwaram power bill = 5.8% of 2021 budget.
Kaleshwaram Project budget & Annual maintenance
Budget 50,000 cr increase to 80K and then 120K cr in 2019.
Loans
Andhra bank 7400 Cr
Pnb 11,400 cr
Power Corporation Of India 12,000 + 7700 cr
7400+11400+12000+7700= 38,500Cr @interest avg
kaleshwaram project controversies:
Oppositions /people | Government |
agriculture: earning 15,000 spending 50,000 | there is no other way than lift irrigation
not only for agri but also industrial and drinking water. |
Power: 5500 for 2 TMC, if 2+ 1 7500 Megawatts. | ground water increases so borewells use less energy, Operating cost decreases in future, |
Budget 50,000 cr increase to 80K and then 120K cr. | Its the effect of inflation, budget will increase & operating cost will reduce in future |
Kaleshwaram Project Achievements
Impossible to possible (200% effort)
balancing cost 50% effort
(trs did what other neglected) (increased groundwater & yield of crops)
made artificial reservoir capacity 240TMC+*
Future: droughtless telangana (huge investment on agriculture)
Kaleshwaram Project History
Barrage: for diversion of water
dam: for storting
target : godavari excess water to yellampalli
pranahita 152 Meters
issues maharashtra forest
kaleshwram /medigadda barrage 100 meters after
