Kundali River

Kundali River is a river originating in the Kundali Hills of the Western Ghats in the state of Maharashtra and flowing into the Upper Bhima River Basin.

The Kundli Pumped Storage plan set forth a long-standing idea of Tata Power with the goal of implementing a fast-track plan of storing the water of the Kundli river in the Valwahan Dam at Lonavala during the monsoon season by constructing a dam at Shirwata, about 55 km. away, and then moving the water by gravity through a tunnel at Somwadi.
