## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR JAL SHAKTI

## (SHRI RAJ BHUSHAN CHOUDHARY)

(a) As  per  the  approval  of  the  Union  Cabinet  for  the  externally  funded  Dam  Rehabilitation  and Improvement  Project  (DRIP),  Phase-II  and  Phase-III,  a  total  of  736  dams  have  been  identified  for rehabilitation and safety enhancement across 19 States and 2 Central agencies. State-wise details of these identified dams are provided in Annexure-I .

(b) As per the approval of the Union Cabinet, the total cost of the DRIP, Phase-II and III Scheme is Rs. 10,211 crore. This provision covers 19 States and 3 Central Agencies, to be utilized over a 10-years period (2021-2031).  Of  this,  the  outlay  for  Phase-II  is  Rs.  5,107  crore,  while  Phase-III  accounts  for  Rs.  5,104 crore.

The Scheme follows a  funding pattern (External: Counterpart) : 70:30 for General Category States, 80:20 for Special Category States, and 50:50 for Central Agencies. The 'External' component refers to the loan  assistance  provided  by  the  World  Bank  and  the  Asian  Infrastructure  Investment  Bank  (AIIB).  Loan disbursements are made on a quarterly basis, aligned  with the expenditure incurred by the implementing agencies.

Details of fund allocation and expenditure, agency-wise, as on 15th November 2025 are provided in Annexure-II .

Further, Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli is not part of DRIP Ph-II & III Scheme.

(c) As on 30th November 2025, major physical rehabilitation works have been completed at 31dams under DRIP Phase-II.

(d) Under  DRIP  Phase  II,  implementing  agencies  are  regularly  sensitized  on  the  importance  of  Early Warning  Systems  (EWS)  installation  and  Emergency  Action  Plans   (EAPs)  preparation.  States  are encouraged  to  establish  EWS  using  DRIP  funds  as  a  key  non-structural  safety  measure.  Technical assistance,  including  training  programmes,  is  also  provided  to  support  Dam  Break  Analyses  and  the formulation of dam-specific EAPs to guide states in preparing effective safety plans.

During  DRIP  Phase-I  (2012-2021),  implemented  with  financial  assistance  from  the  World  Bank, Emergency Action Plans were prepared for 210 dams across seven States - Jharkhand (3), Karnataka (22), Kerala (51), Madhya Pradesh (25), Odisha (22), Tamil Nadu (85), and Uttarakhand (2). Building on this progress, under the ongoing DRIP Phase-II, EAPs have so far been prepared for 12 dams by implementing agencies.
