India will explore “possibilities she has never considered” under the Indus Waters contract (IWT). They could include withdrawal from interviews on the development of a new “dispute mechanism”, to change the design of electrical projects of hydropower to allow it to store more water and to deploy the “drawing” of its tanks to the Hindu conditions of anonymity.
“We have always been very responsible as the upper coastal state. After the Uri attacks (in 2016), we did not take into account the possibilities outside the IWT. This time it may be different,” the person added.
Creating tanks means release of accumulated water to remove mud and mud to make the hydner energy projects optimally.
After an attack by India Pahalgam on Wednesday (April 23, 2025), she announced that since 1960 IWT would have a “aneayance” place. While on the surface it means that India stops its periodic communication with Pakistan on sharing hydrological data on Indus rivers, or informs them about infrastructure work on hydroelectric projections in Chenab, Jhelum and Indus Main, also known as Western Rivers.

Before the incident in Pahalgam, the Indus and Pakistan experts – or teams from India and Pakistan, which are trying to resolve disputes concerning the sharing of the Indus Waters – have not tied since 2022. The main application was to develop a new mechanism of dispute resolution.
According to IWT conditions, India cannot create significant storage of hydropower on the western rivers and must maintain the water level at the prescribed level to ensure that there is no undesirable flood or disruption of Pakistani agriculture. In almost all disputes over the years concerning the development of water -energy projects Pakistan accused India of adjusting the structure of structures so that it could desperately control rivers with India and then explained that its intentions were purely maintained in optimal conditions. “For India, which is supposed to occupy the Indian waters, IWT must completely ignore. According to the current conditions of the contract, this cannot be done,” the scientist associated with the central water commission said.
However, any significant changes will require “techno-economic” feasibility. Placing several projects and terrain means that significant investments may be required. All of them would be “long -term” and will require consistent investment, one of the previously cited.
Debarshee Mukherjee, Secretary, Ministry of Jal Shakti, wrote a letter to Syed Ali Murtaz, secretary of the Ministry of Water Resources, on Thursday (April 24, 2025), who informed him that IWT is “intending”. “The obligation to honor the contract in good faith is essential for the contract. However, what we have seen is a permanent cross terrorist terrorism in Pakistan focused on the Indian territory of J&K,” noted her letter.
