Pakistan has embarked on an ambitious project to construct one of the world’s tallest hydro-electric dams, the Diamer Basha Dam. With a hefty price tag of around 14 billion dollars, it is not only Pakistan’s most expensive project but also one that holds immense promise in alleviating the country’s energy crisis.
Located in the Diamir district of Pakistan, the construction of the dam is crucial in harnessing the potential of the River Indus and providing much-needed electricity to the nation. However, the project is facing potential delays due to security concerns in the region.
The Diamer Basha Dam project is a testament to Pakistan’s commitment to sustainable development and energy independence. Once completed, it is expected to significantly contribute to the country’s economic growth and energy security.
