As of today, the dam holds 12.47 TMC water, of which 7.35 TMC is dead stock and cannot be used, Koyna dam management officials said.

Since no rain has been recorded in the area so far, no water has been received in the catchment area of the dam, the officials said, adding the water can be utilised till July, if no emergency power generation is required.
Koyna dam contributes majorly to power production in Maharashtra.
