The Dibang Dam is a planned concrete gravity dam, proposed to be located in the Lower Dibang Valley District in Arunachal Pradesh, India. If constructed, it will be India's largest dam and the world's tallest concrete gravity dam, standing 288 metres (945 ft) tall. The Dibang Dam is expected to provide up to 3,000 megawatts of hydroelectric power and will also assist with flood control in the Dibang Valley.
