The project will be initiated in Shivamogga district, Karnataka. It is designed to be India's largest reservoir for peak demand power generation using the reservoirs for peak-demand power generation. It will utilise Talakalale (upper) and Gerusoppa (lower) reservoir. The project involves 14 km of underground tunnels with an estimated cost of over ₹10,000 crore.
