	The '''Nimoo Bazgo Power Project''' is a [[run-of-the-river]] power project on the [[Indus River]] situated at Alchi village, {{convert\|75\|km}} from [[Leh]] in the [[India]]n Union Territory of [[Ladakh]]. The project was conceived on 1 July 2001 and approved on 8 June 2005, and construction began on 23rd Sept, 2006. The project ~~involves~~ construction of a {{convert\|57\|m\|\|adj=pre\|-high\|abbr=on}} concrete dam with five spillway blocks of {{convert\|13\|m\|abbr=on}} each having ogee profile.
