Allain Duhangan

 To the IFC Compliance Advisor Ombudsman:

We would like to lodge a complaint concerning the proposed 192 MW Allain Duhangan (Hydropower) Project (ADP) that IFC proposes to fund. 

We live in the villages near Manali in Beas river basin in Kulu district in Himachal Pradesh in Northern India.

Proposed IFC funding of the Allain Duhangan Project in India

Dear Sir or Madam:

We have learnt that International Finance Corporation is soon to put up the proposed IFC funding of the proposed 192 MW Allain Duhangan (Hydropower) Project in Kulu district in Himachal Pradesh in India before the IFC board. However, there are many issues and problems connected with this project that remain unresolved.

On October 12, the World Bank’s executive board approved a $45 million loan from their private sector arm, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), for a controversial hydropower project in the Indian Himalayas. The loan was approved despite the launching of an investigation into the project by the IFC’s ombudsman.
