'''Mulshi''' is the name of a major dam on the [[Mula river, India|Mula river]] in India.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mulshi_Dam_D03170|url=http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Mulshi_Dam_D03170|access-date=2 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180714150720/http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Mulshi_Dam_D03170|archive-date=14 July 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> It is located in the [[Mulshi taluka]] administrative division of the [[Pune district]] of [[Maharashtra]] State.

Water from the dam is used for irrigation as well as for producing electricity at the [[Bhira Hydroelectric Project|Bhira]] hydroelectric power plant, operated by [[Tata Power]]. The station operates six 25MW [[Pelton wheel|Pelton]] [[turbines]] established in 1927 and one 150MW [[Pumped-storage hydroelectricity|Pumped Storage]] Unit. Water from this reservoir located in [[Krishna river]] basin is diverted to the Bhira power house for generating Hydro electricity.

In 1920–21, during the construction of the dam and power station, [[Pandurang Mahadev Bapat]] led ''Mulshi Satyagrah'', a movement to represent farmers whose land had been taken to build the project. He was dubbed ''[[Senapati]]'' (''commander'') in recognition of his leadership.<ref>{{cite book |title=Ecology and Equity: The Use and Abuse of Nature in Contemporary India |first1=Madhav |last1=Gadgil |first2=Ramachandra |last2=Guha |publisher=Routledge |year=2013 |isbn=9781135634889 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eOiBes9QSJ0C&pg=PA69 |page=69}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=The Myth of the Lokamanya: Tilak and mass politics in Maharashtra |first=Richard I. |last=Cashman |publisher=University of California |year=1975 |isbn=9780520024076 |url=https://archive.org/details/mythoflokamanya00rich |url-access=registration |page=[https://archive.org/details/mythoflokamanya00rich/page/190 190]}}</ref>
