About Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited
SSNNL operates the Sardar Sarovar Project across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan command areas — one of India's most ambitious water-resource undertakings. The project comprises Sardar Sarovar Dam (1,210m wide concrete gravity dam on Narmada), 458m Main Canal, 5 branch canals, 38 distributaries, and minor distributaries reaching over 18,000 villages across 4 states. Civil works rates for SSP construction were established in the 1990s-2000s when the dam was built; the ongoing distributary system construction continues to use Gujarat WRD SOR baselines plus project-specific premia for unique items (large-diameter penstock civil, deep-canal lining, specialised hydraulic structures). SSNNL's project documentation is a useful reference even though no consolidated standalone SOR exists.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is SSNNL the same as Gujarat WRD?
No. SSNNL is a separate government undertaking specifically for the Sardar Sarovar Project. Gujarat WRD covers other state irrigation schemes. SSNNL uses Gujarat WRD SOR as the rate baseline plus project-specific items.
What about the 4-state command area?
SSP serves Gujarat (largest share), Maharashtra (Tapi share), Madhya Pradesh (upstream submergence + canal share), and Rajasthan (Western part). SSNNL handles main works; state-share distributaries are implemented by respective state WRDs (Gujarat, MhWRD, MP WRD, Rajasthan WRD).
What's the project's civil scope?
Sardar Sarovar Dam (concrete gravity, 138m height), 458m main canal (largest in the world by length), branch canals + distributaries, lift-irrigation for highlands, 38 thermal/hydropower units (Riverbed Powerhouse + Canal Head Powerhouse).
