ToR denied for Andhra’s Godavari-Banakacharla project
The Centre has denied Andhra Pradesh the Terms of Reference (ToR) clearance to begin an environmental assessment for the Godavari–Banakacherla project, halting progress. Telangana government called it a major win, arguing the project threatens its water rights and bypasses inter-state rules. With Andhra Pradesh insisting it uses surplus Godavari water, the dispute remains unresolved.
