14 CURRENT ISSUES WITH INDIA
Ratle Hydroelectric Plant (850 MW) (ROR) Miyar Hydroelectric Plant (120 MW) (ROR) Lower Kalnai Hydroelectric Plant (48 MW) (ROR) Pakal Dul Hydroelectric Plant (initially1000 MW, ultimate 1500 MW) (Storage) Kishenganga Hydroelectric Plant (330 MW) (ROR)

Sr. No. India's Hydroelectric Project Distance from Marala (km) 1 Lower Kalnai 195 2 Ratle 202 3 Pakal Dul 225 4 Miyar 365 15

16 RELATIVE SIGNIFICANCE
The gross storage capacities of Lower Kalnai (1508 acre-ft), Miyar (1300 acre-ft) are small with negligible downstream impacts on Pakistan. Pakal Dul is a storage project on a tributary of Chenab River with storage capacity of 88,000 acre-ft but this is within the permissible limit of storage of 0.6 million acre-ft on the tributaries of Chenab River. Other design differences are small and are not of much significance with respect to downstream impacts. However, the design differences on Kishenganga and Ratle HEPs are of major nature and need design changes by India.

34 KISHENGANGA HYDROELECTRIC PLANT (330 MW)

35 Jhelum River Basin

36 KISHENGANGA HYDROELECTRIC PLANT
India proposed this plant in 1994 as a storage work with concrete gravity dam of 75 m height and storage of 174 Mm3 (141,000 acre-ft). Pakistan objected on the design of this project within the stipulated time period. Matter remained under discussion until in 2006 the revised design as run-of-river plant with height of 37 m and storage of 7.55 Mm3 (6120 acre-ft) . The matter remained under discussion at the level of PIC till 2009. Government decided to take up the issues of diversion of water of Neelum River to Jhelum River and drawdown below dead storage level to Court of Arbitration (CoA). Court gave its Partial Award in February 2013 and Final award in December 2013.

37 THE COA’s AWARD Dispute on diversion was decided in favour of India; mandatory environmental release of 9 m3/s made obligatory on India (mitigates annual loss by 154 million units or US $ 30 million). The issue of drawdown below dead storage level decided in favour of Pakistan which meant that India cannot carry out drawdown flushing by lowering the water level of the reservoir below DSL.

38 KISHENGANGA HYDROELECTRIC PLANT
The four remaining questions pertaining to design aspects, if not resolved amicably, can be referred to the Neutral Expert (NE) or Court of Arbitration.

45 DISPUTE SETTLEMENT MECHANISM
IN THE TREATY ARTICLE-IX 45

46 PROCEDURE FOR SETTLEMENT OF DIFFERNECES & DISPUTES
ARTICLE-IX PROCEDURE FOR SETTLEMENT OF DIFFERNECES & DISPUTES Permanent Indus Commission : Questions shall be examined by the Commission for an endeavour to resolve by agreement Neutral Expert Difference falling under Part-I of Annexure-F (23 Technical questions) Court of Arbitration Differences other than Part-I of Annexure-F, being a “dispute” or any difference declared by the Neutral Expert shall be termed as “dispute” (Annexure-G) Any other way Upon agreement by the Commission Govt. to Govt. level Either Government may take up any particular question directly with the other Government. 46 46

47 ELABORATION OF ARTICLE-IX IN KISHENGANGA ARBITRATION CASE IN THE PARTIAL AWARD
Paragraph 484 “In the court’s view, nothing in the Treaty requires that a technical question listed in Part 1 of Annexure F be decided by a Neutral Expert rather than a Court of Arbitration– except where a party so requests (and then only if the Neutral Expert considers himself competent).” Paragraph 485 “Similarly the Court can identify no Treaty provision that would bar it from considering a technical question, unless a Party had in fact requested the appointment of a Neutral Expert.” 47 47

48 ELABORATION OF ARTICLE-IX IN KISHENGANGA ARBITRATION CASE IN THE PARTIAL AWARD
Paragraph 486 “The very composition of the Court of Arbitration also points to its competence in technical matter in general, skills or qualifications required for the members of the Commission or tribunal represent a probative indication of the role the parties intended the body to perform.” “Here, one of the Court’s umpires is required to be a “highly qualified engineers,” and, indeed, nothing would stop the Parties from appointing engineers as their Party appointed arbitrators or as the Chairman of the Court.” Paragraph 487 “Accordingly the Court considers that no dispute brought before a Court of Arbitration could be rendered inadmissible merely on the grounds that it involved a technical question.” 48 48
