♤ India and Pakistan disagree about the construction of the Kishenganga (330 megawatts) and Ratle (850 megawatts) hydroelectric power plants being built by India.

♤ The two countries disagree over whether the technical design features of the two hydroelectric plants contravene the Treaty.

♤ The plants are on respectively a tributary of the Jhelum and the Chenab Rivers.

♤ The Treaty designates these two rivers as well as the Indus as the “Western Rivers” to which Pakistan has unrestricted use.

♤ Among other uses, under the Treaty, India is permitted to construct hydroelectric power facilities on these rivers subject to constraints specified in Annexures to the Treaty.
