	The ~~project includes construction~~ of ~~a {{convert\|47.5\|m\|ft\|adj=mid\|~~-~~long}} barrage, having 15 m height above~~ the ~~crest level, an underground powerhouse, and 3.3 m dia and 10.02 km long head race tunnel and installation of four nos. of vertical Francis turbine of 11 MW each.~~		The '''Chutak Hydroelectric Plant''' is a [[run-of-the-river]] power project on the [[Suru River (Indus)\|Suru River]] (a tributary of [[Indus]]) in [[Kargil district]] in the Indian union territory of [[Ladakh]].

			The project utilises a gross head of {{convert\|63.4\|m\|abbr=on}} to generate 216.41 GWh in a 90% dependable year with an installed capacity of 44 MW. Each 11 MW underground generating unit was designed to operate under a rated head of 52 m and a rated discharge of 24.05 cubic metres per second. The barrage diverts water from the river and involves a flooding of only {{convert\|0.135\|km2\|abbr=on}}. Thus the power density is 44 MW per 0.135 km2, i.e. very high 326 W/m2, compared to dam-based hydroelectric projects.
