The flow from Indrawati River, a tributary of Sunkoshi River, is used to generate 7.5 MW electricity with annual energy of 50 GWh. The design flow is 14 m3/s and design gross head is 65 m.[1] The plant is owned and developed by National Hydropower Company Limited, an IPP of Nepal. The plant started generating electricity since 2059-06-21 BS. The generation licence will expire in 2104-09-29 BS, after which the plant will be handed over to the government.[2] The power station is connected to the national grid and the electricity is sold to Nepal Electricity Authority.
