Senior Profile Attendees
India is entering a critical phase in the evolution of its dam infrastructure. With over 6,500 dams across the country and several new projects planned, the focus is shifting toward improving safety, modernizing aging assets, and strengthening water and energy security. The Bharat Dams Conference will bring together policymakers, dam authorities, hydropower developers, engineers, contractors, and technology providers to discuss how regulations such as the Dam Safety Act 2021 are reshaping dam safety, compliance, and monitoring practices across the country.
The event will focus on dam safety and rehabilitation, digital inspection technologies, real-time monitoring systems, pumped storage hydropower, sediment management, and the development of large Himalayan projects such as the Siang Upper Hydroelectric Project. Attendees will gain practical insights into new technologies, project opportunities, regulatory requirements, and best practices in dam construction and maintenance, while also connecting with key stakeholders responsible for delivering India’s next generation of water and hydropower infrastructure.

Why India is Investing Billions in Dam Infrastructure?
Agriculture remains a major pillar of India’s economy. Large multipurpose dams support irrigation across millions of hectares, improving crop reliability and rural livelihoods.
Dams play a crucial role in managing extreme weather events, controlling floods during monsoon seasons and maintaining water supply during drought periods.
A large portion of India’s dams are more than 25–50 years old, creating urgent demand for structural upgrades, safety monitoring systems, and modernization programs.
