List of largest reservoirs in India

This is a list of largest reservoirs in India, including all artificial lakes with a capacity greater than or equal to 1,000,000 acre feet (1.2 km3). In terms of number of dams, India ranks fourth after China, USA and Russia. Currently there are 4710 completed large dams and 390 are under-construction. In India most of the dams are maintained by the State Governments while there are a few other organizations, namely, Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB), Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) and National Hydro Electric Power Corporation (NHPC) who also now own and operate dams.
