Solution
The Hydroelectric capacity of Koyna dam is 1960 MW.
Explanation:
The Koyna Hydroelectric Project is one of the largest hydroelectric power plants in India. It is a complex project with four dams including the largest dam on the Koyna River, Maharashtra. The project site is in the Satara district near Patan. The total capacity of the project is 1960 MW. The project consists of four stages of power generation. All the generators are located in an underground powerhouse excavated deep inside the mountains of the Western Ghats.
