Upper Marsyangdi-2 Hydroelectric Projectमाथिल्लो मर्स्याङ्दी-२ जलविद्युत आयोजना
A 327 MW peaking run-of-river project on the Marsyangdi River in Manang and Lamjung, originally taken up by GMR's Himtal Hydropower (which signed a joint-development agreement with IFC) and planned as part of a Marsyangdi cascade. It is at the permitting stage, with construction tentatively projected for the late 2020s.
