Shanan Power Project

Context:

Punjab and Himachal Pradesh are set for a face-off as the 99-year lease on the Shanan hydropower project situated at Jogindernagar in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh.

About Shanan Power Project:

The 110 MW Shanan power project was envisaged by Col. Battye, the then Chief Engineer of the Government of Punjab, in 1922.
The first stage (48 MW) of the project was commissioned in 1932. The project was constructed following the execution of the lease agreement in 1925.
It was given to Punjab on 99-year lease by the then ruler of Mandi, Raja Joginder Singh Bahadur, which would end on March 2, 2024.
The Shanan project was allocated to the State of Punjab in accordance with the provisions of the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966.
Under the Act, the Shanan project was allocated to Punjab State by the Ministry of Irrigation and Power, Government of India.
Himachal Pradesh wants the project handed over to the State expiry of the lease period.
The Punjab Government is prepared to take legal recourse to retain it saying that the project is in continuous ownership and possession of the Punjab Government.
