Ratle Hydroelectric Plant project, including a 133 m (436 ft) tall gravity dam and two power stations adjacent to one another, is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station, currently under construction on the Chenab River, downstream of the village near Drabshalla in Kishtwar district of the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Water from the dam will be diverted through four intake tunnels about 400 m (0.25 mi) southwest to the power stations. The main power station will contain four 205 MW Francis turbines and the auxiliary power station will contain one 30 MW Francis turbine.
