PULICHINTALA PROJECT
A balancing reservoir is proposed across river Krishna near Pulichinta Village in Guntur District ( 85.0 Km upstream of Prakasam barrage and 115.0 Km down stream of Nagarjuna Sagar Dam), for storing 45.77 TMC of water for stabilization of existing ayacut of 13.08 Lakh acres of Krishna delta and for early transplantation of paddy crop during June and July.
Administrative approval for Rs. 681.604 Crores was accorded by the Government vide G.O.Ms. No. 208 dt. 18-11-2005. Revised administrative approval for Rs. 1281.0 Crores was accorded by the Government vide G.O.Ms.No. 90 dt. 04-08-2009. The construction of head works of the Project were entrusted to M/s Srinivasa Constructions Limited CR 18G JV, Hyderabad for their quoted amount of Rs. 268.87 Crores with a tender premium of less 18.4% and agreement concluded vide S.E’s agt. No. 1SE/2004-2005 Dt. 30/9/04.

BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT:
1)Additional yield of Paddy can be achieved due to early transplantation of paddy crop, resulting an additional benefit to the ayactudars of Krishna delta every year. 2)Additional yield of pulses in Krishna delta resulting additional benefit every year. 3)Coconut trees can be grown on the bunds of nursery tanks which gives annual benefit.
4)Pisci culture can be developed in the reservoir to give an additional income
5)Hydro Electric power can be generated upto 120 MW.
