Super Dordi 'Kha' Hydropower Projectसुपर दोर्दी 'ख'

A 54 MW run-of-river plant on the Dordi Khola (a Marsyangdi tributary) in Lamjung, the largest plant built on the Dordi and — at commissioning — the fourth-largest private-sector hydropower project in Nepal after Upper Tamakoshi, Solu Dudhkoshi and Khimti. Developed by People's Hydropower Company Ltd, it anchored the 126 MW Dordi corridor that was energised in 2022–23.
