The Ratle Hydroelectric Plant is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station, with permitted pondage under the Indus Water Treaty, currently under construction on the Chenab River, downstream of the village near Drabshalla in Kishtwar district of the Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
The project includes a 133 m (436 ft) tall gravity dam and two power stations adjacent to one another.
Water from the dam will be diverted through four intake tunnels about 400 m (0.25 mi) southwest to the power stations.
