The correct answer is Option A: Narmada Project. Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Maharashtra signed an agreement on 7 July 2026 in New Delhi to settle the payment dispute related to the Narmada project. The agreement covered cost-sharing issues of the Sardar Sarovar Project and the Indira Sagar Project, linked with the Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal Award. The Narmada Water Disputes Tribunal was constituted under the Inter-State Water Disputes Act, 1956 to resolve disputes related to the Narmada river system. The Sardar Sarovar Project is a major multipurpose river valley project on the Narmada River in Gujarat, while the Indira Sagar Project is a reservoir and hydropower project in Madhya Pradesh. The settlement addressed issues related to Resettlement and Rehabilitation expenditure, compensation for submerged land, and interest on construction borrowings. The Narmada River flows through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan before draining into the Arabian Sea. Inter-State Water Disputes in India are governed by the Inter-State Water Disputes Act, 1956, which provides a legal mechanism for resolving river water conflicts. The Narmada agreement followed recent interstate water agreements related to the Yamuna Water Project and the Kishau Multipurpose Project in 2026.
