Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP)

The Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP), announced by the BJP in 2017-18, aims to improve water management for 13 districts in Rajasthan and the Malwa and Chambal regions of Madhya Pradesh. It will supply drinking and industrial water and irrigate 5.6 lakh hectares of land. The project includes the Modified Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal (PKC) link as part of India’s national river-linking initiative. Talks between Rajasthan’s CM Bhajan Lal Sharma and Union Water Minister CR Paatil have advanced, and a formal agreement covering water sharing, costs, and execution is expected soon.
