Telangana is proposing the Inchampalli-Godavari link as an alternative to Andhra Pradesh’s Polavaram-Banakacherla project, arguing that this route is fair, legal, and protects its share of Godavari waters. Experts say Inchampalli could be a middle path, as it can draw unutilised waters from Chhattisgarh. Issue discussed at the 6th consultative meeting of the NWDA in Hyderabad.
