Murunj dam will cost like $1 billion and produce virtually no electricity. Which mean hardly any investment will come for it so can only be build with PSDP. Its likely to be build next decade after Bhasha dam is completed.
Govt speeds up work to add 8MAF water storage through four mega dams
May 31, 2026
The government has accelerated work on four major dam projects that are expected to add more than eight million acre feet of water storage capacity.
According to APP, the four projects with a combined live storage capacity of 8.136 million acre feet include the strategically important Diamer-Bhasha Dam with storage capacity of 6.4 MAF, Mohmand Dam with 0.676 MAF, Kurram Tangi Dam with 0.90 MAF and Nai Gaj Dam with 0.16 MAF.
In addition, several new reservoir projects with an estimated live storage capacity of 15.88 MAF are at planning and design stages.
These include Sindh Barrage with 2.0 MAF, Shyok Dam Multipurpose Project with 5.5 MAF, Akhori Dam with 7.0 MAF, Chiniot Dam with 0.93 MAF and Murunj Dam with 0.45 MAF.
That's what I thought because the Wikipedia page put its cost around 220 million rupees.
And if this dam is so beneficial for flood control of these districts then this should not be delayed for 10 more years. Because the property losses that are observed in every year floods in those districts due to monsoon will be many times more than the cost of this dam.
