Pakistan is getting dry

Firstly the treaty is gone.

Secondly even if it were not. As per the treaty india is allowed to store 3.5 MAF water on the western rivers.

Thirdly the tunnel being built will only be able transfer maximum 0.9 - 1.5 MAF water.

For 60 years every single time India proposed project on the western rivers. Pakistan used to drag India through decades of litigation, arbitrations, neutral experts.

Pakistan always ended up loosing as it did on Baghliar and Kishenganga projects.

It was a smart delay tactic, that Pakistan used to its advantage to slow any development in Jammu Kashmir region.

With IWT now gone, that is not gonna happen again.
This guy reminds me of the viral video going around where an Indian Faqir tried to prove that ''he can fly'' by jumping off a cliff in front of hundreds of Hindu followers. He did jump and ''died a painful death''. So yeah, go ahead Hindu, JUMP!

India is pursuing a large, fast-tracked hydropower push in Jammu & Kashmir (mostly on the Chenab basin) and a smaller but growing set of projects in Ladakh (on the Indus and its tributaries). Here's the current picture as of mid-2026.


Jammu & Kashmir — Chenab Basin (the big push)​


This region has seen accelerated construction since India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty in 2025 following the Pahalgam terror attack, freeing projects from treaty-mandated design restrictions and Pakistani objections.


Under construction / nearing completion:


  • Pakal Dul (1,000 MW) – Kishtwar district; India's largest storage-type hydro project in J&K; the Power Ministry has directed it be commissioned by December 2026The Minister issued directions to commission the Pakal Dul and Kiru projects by December 2026 and the Kwar project by March 2028.
  • Kiru (624 MW) – Kishtwar; also targeted for December 2026 completion.
  • Kwar (540 MW) – Kishtwar; targeted for March 2028.
  • Ratle (850 MW) – Kishtwar; a joint venture between NHPC and JKSPDC. Progress was slow initially and the project reached only about 25 to 26 per cent completion, but construction picked up pace after the treaty was suspended in 2025. Estimates suggest completion only in late 2028 or early 2029.
  • Dulhasti Stage-II (390 MW expansion) – received clearance in December 2025, adding new units via a diversion tunnel.

Planned/DPR stage (larger pipeline):


  • Sawalkote (1,856 MW) – Ramban/Udhampur districts; will be the largest hydro project on the Chenab once built.
  • Bursar (800 MW) – a storage dam on the Marusudar (Chenab tributary) in Kishtwar, also meant to regulate flow for downstream projects.
  • Kirthai I (390 MW) and Kirthai II (930 MW) – Chenab basin.
  • Ujh Multi-purpose Project (212 MW) – on the Ravi basin, a national project.

Existing projects getting upgrades: Salal, Baglihar and Dulhasti have undergone sediment-flushing/desilting to restore reservoir capacity now that treaty-linked restrictions on such work have been lifted.


Officials project J&K's installed hydro capacity rising from 3,540.15 MW currently to 5,164.15 MW by December 2026, once Pakal Dul and Kiru are commissioned.


Ladakh​


Ladakh's hydropower base is much smaller (the region was administratively separated from J&K in 2019, taking roughly 2,000 MW of potential with it). Existing/near-complete plants include the Nimoo Bazgo (45 MW) and Chutak (44 MW) projects on the Indus, alongside several smaller schemes. I don't have confirmed, up-to-date details on any newly announced large Ladakh hydro projects for 2026 — if you want, I can search specifically for the latest NHPC/Ladakh UT government announcements (there's periodic talk of projects on the Indus, Zanskar, and Shyok rivers, but I'd rather verify current status than guess).
 
Who will stop us ? Pakistan ? how ?

Besides plan seems simple ,diversions in Chenab to beas/Sutlej system which flows into Indira canal & storage on Indus to completely manage the downward flow.

Pakistan will bomb Indian dams on eastern rivers. Pakistan is willing to go nuclear to protect our rivers. This was made clear even recently.

If nukes cannot deter India from stealing Pakistan water then so be it.
 
Pakistan can enable disintegration of India by stimulation in Bengal, Kerala and Maharashtra at once.
Doing war is not an option ( or is it?)

Nuclear option is for existential threat to Pakistan and water blockage clearly represents that threat. No one in Pakistan will flinch an eye if the situation is led by India to that point of no return.
 
Reality is your country is pushing for talks & some kind of normalization all accross the world ,to reinstate IWT.

Which is not going to happen with current Indian leadership, Your best course of action is to handover terrorists & ask for renegotiation.

As for bombing dams , you are welcome to try.

World doesn't care because they like what Pakistan is saying. For world killing billion plus Indians will mean less Indian immigrants to deal with. So we are not counting on increasingly anti-Indian world, we developed the tools for this moment.

Then why not just go ahead and build the dams instead of the constant talking about building them?
