With completion of Kishan-Ganga project, the water flows towards Pakistan from Neelum and Jehlum rivers would reduce drastically, making it almost impossible for Pakistan to generate 1,000 MW electricity for which an international bidding is being sought shortly.

 Daily Excelsior...Business
Pakistan has refused to allow India to divert the water of the Neelum River for power generation in Jammu and Kashmir, saying it would jeopardise the development of its Rs 87 billion Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Pakistan had presented its views on the subject during the permanent Indus Commission meeting over a month ago as it believed the diversion would definitely affect the Neelum-Jhelum project because of the proximity between the two, the daily said.
It quoted sources saying that the diversion of Neelum waters by India would not reduce the overall water level in the river on the Pakistani side of the Line of Control but would definitely affect the river flow and a decline in the river flow would reduce the pressure required to generate electricity.
