The main canal has a length of 458 kilometres in Gujarat and then 74 kilometres in Rajasthan. The main canal is connected with 42 branches resulting in a Culturable Command Area of 2,129,000 hectares.
  Soon after the completion of the construction project, the Narmada canal was inaugurated on 24 April 2008. It has carrying capacity of 40,000 cubic foot per second at its head in Navagam and is decreased to 2,600 cusecs at Sanchore. On the way, Narmada main canal crosses many rivers and water bodies. The main canal itself can hold 220 MCM of water at full supply depth. It is designed not only for the water supply but also the storage of water to improve the response time of the system.
