Under the National Perspective Plan (NPP), the National Water Development Agency (NWDA) has identified 30 links (16 under Peninsular Component & 14 under Himalayan Component) for preparation of Feasibility Reports. Details and current status of the proposals for inter-state linking of rivers under the Inter Linking of Rivers (ILR) Programme is furnished at Annexure.

Ken – Betwa project is the first Inter-linking project under NPP, which is under implementation. A tripartite agreement has been signed among the States of UP and MP and Central Government for implementation of Ken-Betwa Link Project in March, 2021. The project has been approved by the Government of India with an estimated cost of Rs. 44605 Cr at year 2020-21 price level and central support of Rs.39317 Cr through a Special Purpose Vehicle.

The ILR programme has been accorded top priority by the Government and it is being pursued based on the principle of consensus and agreement among the concerned States. A “Special Committee on Interlinking of Rivers” was constituted in September, 2014 for the implementation of ILR programme. Nineteen meetings of the Special Committee have been held so far. Further, a Task Force for Interlinking of Rivers was also constituted in April, 2015 and fifteen meetings of the Task Force have been held so far. Furthermore, efforts have been made for building consensus among the concerned States as implementation of the ILR projects depends mainly on the consensus among the concerned States.

Estimated expenditure for ILR project (30 links) is estimated at Rs. 8.44 lakh crore. However, the issue related to actual expenditure arises at time of implementation of the link projects.

This Information was given by the Minister of State for Jal Shakti, Shri Bishweswar Tudu in a written  reply in Rajya Sabha today.
